Why is it that my body defines what you see me as?
Where is it stated that I am confined to your expectations?
I'm tired that in my journey to become a stronger person
spiritually, mentally and physically, that stereotypes are thrust upon me with such slander.
Why is it that my breasts limit my capabilities, or my interests, or my attitude?
Why is it my gender is all people ever see, and therefore judgments of me are made accordingly?
I'm' tired of feeling torn between the simple things in life,
between what makes me feel like me, and what makes me feel who I should be.
Why do I feel like I need to justify the things I do, or the person I am?
Every week I am confronted with low expectations, stereotypes, and accommodating actions-
All because I am a female, and I wish that were an exaggeration!
UNSEX ME HERE!
Not for the purpose of not seeing the wound my keen knife makes,
But in the hope that you will see me for who I am,
Not what I am...
