I am told; one day I will become a woman I need to prepare for when that day will come When someone will take my hand and care for me Having a family of my own, in charge of running a home I have other views of the woman I want to be My preparations for my future I will take on my own Women are not allowed to take the man’s role But I will challenge the role of a man and will take no crumbs I refuse to be the symbolic weak woman Expected to fulfill three roles: “Mother, housekeeper, and worker” With few choices, no rights, and controlled by a man Goals I will break with an education and a respected job Remaining a single woman! I will challenge anyone in the community Who come to ridiculed, shun, and pitied me The pen is mightier than the sword And therefore I will gain freedom With an education and a respected job My preparations for my future, I will take on my own 1/8/2016
