I'm A Female
I'm a girl, Im a female,
a walking double standard
I've been told I can lead,
but I got to watch my manners
After all no boy wants a girls who always talks in slang
and who gets more pay
Yea more pay then him!
As a female I can shine but its got to be dimmed
Yea its ok for me to compete, but not myself
For the eyes of a man
So he can pick me for his wife
And I'll have that ring on my hand
As if that's supoose to be a girl's biggest dream
I mean thats how america makes it seem
Perfect body, perfect waist,perfect structure, perfect face
All for a man that'll try to play me after a couple dates
But as long as his pockets got a little bread
Who am I to turn my head
I'm a girl, I'm a female a walkin double standard
Can't be my natural self in a world full of actors
Tv Shows, Magazines,lower are girls self esteems,
filling their head with notions on how they're suppose to be
But Imma girl,I got power
Under no man will I cower
I'll set the standard for myself
As I acquire all my wealth
I'm a girl, I am bold
Under no man will I fold
You gon see Im gon rise
Mama told me I'm the prize
So if your a feamle go ahead and strive
Dont't let unspoken rules to tell you how to live your life
Your a girl, You make the team
It's definitely not what it seems
Because a King is not a King
Without A Great Queen!

This poem is about how females are heavily influenced, by the opinions of society and especially by the opinion of men to act a certain way or be a certain way. It's important for females to chase their dreams, be themselves, and show their potential without being worried about the views of other people. It's also important for women to shine in their own light and do what makes them happy, instead of doing things to impress men. It's best for women to just be the best they can be!
