Double Standards
I was born female.
I didn’t have a say in the matter.
You were born male.
Despite you didn’t have a say in the matter, you think your gender makes you superior.
Why is this so?
I think that I know.
I am trying my hardest not to see you as a foe.
But your need to try to assert control of me has got to go.
My life is my seed to grow.
I don’t need your approval.
Never did, never will.
Seeing you for who you are tells me how to feel.
But here’s the deal.
I am woman and proud.
Anything you could do, so can I.
I will not hide the person I am inside.
I love being a woman as you love being a man.
I just need you to understand.
My choices are mine and your opinions don’t matter.
I don’t care how your image of me shatters.
Save your double standards for someone who cares.
Because I never will.
