Our bodies are containers
To hold our cells and organs
Each part vital for life
Women are seen as objects
Defined by our shape
Judged for looks and appeal
Marketed for men
Sold as propaganda
Buy this and you’ll get lucky
Women are perceived as less
Not human, but a
Frivolous endeavor
Women aren’t appreciated for their brains
Strong bones or charismatic hearts
Only as a sex object
To survive in a career
Women are told “be attractive”
Promote products through flirtation
Told to stay home
Be a mother
Acquiesce to your man
Women are more than a pretty face
Not defined by one purpose
Or one label
Even in a Man-dominated World
Women push through
Demanding to be heard
Forever In A Story
