Women are given a mission,

Not a decision.

“Women belong in the kitchen”,

“They shouldn’t be listened”,

“Giving them forgiveness is never an option”.

Women shall be hidden,

Not because of what they were wearing,

Because of the staring they get,

The swearing, scaring and comparing,

It is destroying the freedom they get.

“Women are too emotional”,

“Their only job is to be devotional”,

“They should always be approachable”,

“They are the devil, irresistible”.

Women are inspirational,

With dignity and divinity through their veins,

They are motivational and aspirational,

But they aren’t treated like it.

“Women over exaggerate it”

“They were asking for it”,

“They shouldn’t have worn it”,

“You’ll get used to it”,

“Just ignore it”.

Women get exposed to this,

They can’t be expected to ignore it,

It happens on a daily basis, while men,

They don’t even get affected.

Women’s fates are already destined,

They are the drama queens,

They always create a scene,

And if they are mean,

It’s due to their period scheme.

It is unfair,

The world is unfair to women,

They deserve the world,

But they don’t even get heard.

They aren’t asking too much,

All they want,

All we want is to be heard,

That shouldn’t be that hard.

How stupid can you be,

Not treating women like the goddesses they are.

How stupid can you be,

Raping, abusing and hating the stars. 

How stupid can you be,

Not appreciating the ones who started it all.

It’s really not that hard,

Giving respect is not that hard,

Not judging people is not that hard,

Being fair is not that hard.

But in this rotten world,

We have our lessons learned,

We should get our place earned,

Because it doesn’t come to us as a right.

We should try hard,

Harder than men,

To get paid and respect,

To even live a simple life because,

We are given a mission,

Not a decision.

“You should smile more”

“You are rotten to your core”,

“That was before”,

“You little wh*re”.

It cannot be ignored cause

it’s happening on a daily basis.

Women are given a mission, 

Not a decision.
