to my daughter
I'm sorry
Our culture has created an uncomfortable burden for you to tackle.
Born in a world where people automatically think less of youbecause of your
biology
A world where you are constantly subjected to body dismorphia and
thigh gap traps
Where discussions about the female body are disgusting and taboo
I'm sorry
People think of you as an object for their own agenda
You have to risk your reputation to say the words
"Me too"
Your story is spit out, untrue, morphed
And forced to be believed
Respect is not a virture learned
Yet you're the one taking the ultimate downfall
Our leaders mock your brilliant courage
But let me tell you something.
While many men are physically stronger
It is women who endure.
And there is nothing in this world
More beautiful than that.
Your life is your own for the taking
Prove them wrong.
