She won’t be less than He

She wished she could scream as loud as possible but she has to be lady like so that’s not plausible She needs to wear her hair up and look presentable though not too much she can’t be unbearable Can’t speak too loud She might look like a clown. Though not too quiet She can’t be seen as defiant. She went college as long as them Four years,a whole presidential term Only to be seen as a counterpart Inserted at the end of construction To leave junk on, a bottle or two To be disregarded with a rag And left for another day or few because to them her say is just a suggestion not something to be digested. Even though she made sure it wouldn’t cause congestion She’ll try, again and again through fail and trial making sure to keep her head up high through denial She won’t stop until she can be seen as More than just some child She accomplished so much As ancestors have before her women suffrage wasn’t just something to hide in a corner so she’ll keep her head up through the thick and thin Like how her great grandmothers fought for women back then So they could have a voice Through hardships faced At the same status of men and next of kin
