Society tries to say
A woman is someone pretty
A woman is someone with makeup
A woman is someone who is proper
A woman dresses nicely
A woman eats a certain way
A woman has to act like
She’s the queen of Britain
Does that mean I’m not a woman
For I don’t exactly follow these standards
I don’t always iron my clothes
Or keep my elbows off the table
I don’t sit straight every hour
Or carry a purse to school
I don’t wash my face every morning
I don’t care about colors clashing
So who defines a woman
Is it a man
Is it society
Or is it anyone
Last time I checked
And I check often
A woman is defined
As the female gender
So am I a female
Yes I am
I can carry children
And don’t have a flat chest
So what is a female
Last time I checked
Has the synonym lady
That is used quite often
So what is a lady
Is it someone who’s girly
Who’s clean like a baby
And cares how she looks
If that’s the case
And it very well is
I’m not a lady at all
And surely don’t mind
So what is a woman
Is she defined by her peers
Her society
Her male counterpart
I don’t like to say I’m a lady
Because I really aren’t
I’m a woman
A female
I don’t live like society says I should
With purses and makeup
Manners and mirrors
And living on someone’s opinion
I am who I am
And I am proud of myself
I live on my opinion
And mine alone
This is not a lady
But a female
And a woman
Who is who she is
And before you judge
Just realize
You should on the inside
Before the outside
And yes, I can say that most of my friends are this kind or behave as such (including myself of course, ) So thank you for explaining this situation that were faced by some of us saying that we are not suppose to be the 'lady' that they automatically categorised every damn women they know.
