We-Men
"the girl,
you have listened stories about,
the stories of bravery, achievements,
struggles and fight,
but,
she receives every time in return,
"You did it,...Like a man"
she hates hearing this,
she wanted to do "more than a man"
for the society who teaches this to her, but the man,
which were shown as ideals to her
were not even humans,
the fierce beasts,born from the body,
they were calling miserable,
born from a woman,
she feels like no more her,
despites of all the fights, struggles,
and knowing,
"She was more than a man already"
she still feels like a miserable thing,
a thing, called woman,
because you took everything,
you took her....."
