Women

As women we still have to fight for what’s ours now a days, Because some men believe we should still be stuck in the cooking and cleaning type of phase. Like we don’t have it rough enough living in a mans day and age, Because when we’re missing is the only time we make the front page. Having babies while we’re babies and these men not giving a damn. No job dropped out of school now we depending on Uncle Sam. No future to look forward too so we look up in the sky. Church on every Sunday praying and asking God why. Being a woman isn’t easy especially a strong one with a head on her shoulders Basically we’re pins in this world and life changed the bowling balls to boulders. Double standards to the point where man belittle who we are. Then they take advantage of us until we’re open like a bar. Emotionally attached to see the finer things in life. Cady Stanton wouldn’t stand for just being a mans wife. In 1848 she was one of many who put up a fight. Picket signs the whole nine battling for women’s rights. More money in their pockets and they’re taking our jobs. Then they screw us over twist and turn like we’re just door knobs. Some men call us out our names then beat us like we’re a slave Emotional and mental abuse until we can only cave. We struggle to stand on two feet then they knock us down to one. When we can’t take it no more we scream it’s over and some are quick to pull the gun. We let these men take over our lives and control who we are. No more shinning light because they turn us into a dimming star. WE work hard to prove our selves every second minute and hour. Fighting life’s battles and wars and until we obtain uncontrollable power. Mother’s telling us what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger. With all this we have to strength to keep the fight going longer. As long as we stand up straight and remember any problem can be solved Because anything is possible when women get involved.
