The burgeoning sexuality of a young girl scares society so much that she is handed a bunch of do's and don'ts. Completely unfair!
#Poetry. The burgeoning sexuality of a young girl scares society so much that she is handed a bunch of do’s and don’ts. Completely unfair!
Sit with your legs crossed, They said You are a girl, You need to behave, they said.
Laugh with your hands placed on your mouth, They said You are a girl, You need to be mellow, they said.
Don’t wear short clothes, They said You are a girl, You need to be safe, they said.
Don’t touch another man, They said You are a girl You’ll loose it, they said.
Do as your father tells you, They said You are a girl You need to obey, they said.
Do as your husband tells you, They said You are a girl You need to obey, they said.
Take permission for your job, They said You are a girl Wife sacrifices, they said.
One day, she was done With spread legs and short clothes, Exploring sexuality, obeying herself She walked her own path. She did what she was meant to do, She said I am a girl Not society’s property, she said.
