They say I can't 

Because of my gender

They say I can't 

Because I am not a man

They say I can't

Because I am

 Fragile

Incapable

Weak

When you look at me, do you see fragility?

When you look at me, do you see Incapability?

Incapability 

in my gender

Fragility

In being feminine

But really,

What does being feminine even mean?

Do you expect me to call you

¨Your Majesty¨

Despite all the tragedy

You have 

Caused 

me?

You say

I am 

 Fragile

Incapable

Weak

They say I can't

Despite the fact

That we are all 

Human

One people

Why we don't celebrate 

Our differences,

Physical or not,

Is beyond me.

They associate femininity

With incapability

Fragility

Vulnerability

 they say in the least

That

Being fragile

Incapable

Vulnerable,

That having long hair 

Having a 

“picture perfect” 

face and body

Is all that  we  can have

Is all that we, girls and women, can be.
