What does it mean to be a woman?
Being a woman means
Getting your period
The one day you decide
to risk wearing white pants
Craving chocolate cake
Ice cream and fries
But already being
too bloated for comfort
It means being convinced
You are pregnant after
your period is late
By about ten minutes
It means giving your last
Tampon to whoever
Needs it even that girl
you don’t really like
It means having people
ask how you balance
your career and kids
But they do not ask your
Husband the same thing too
Being a woman means
Being told you will make
A good wife after you do
The dishes with Grandma
Being a woman is
Getting judged for every
Big decision you make
If you want to be a
Stay at home mother or
Have a career or have
One hundred cats and dogs
It means doing the best
Job at your company
But missing out on that
Promotion because your
Maternity leave shows
Less job dedication
Being a woman means
Being hysterical
Being moody and sad
Being paid less money
Never being taken
Seriously in case
You are PMSing
