Women are not vulnerable

I wish 

That parents didn’t cry over their infants gender 

That blue wasn’t just a guy color and pink just for girls 

Because girls don’t just play with dolls 

And guys don’t only fiddle with swords 

Flowers aren’t only she and trucks only he

Guy’s don’t only represent muscles 

And girls not all dainty 

Men and women are born equal                                                                                             

Until society drags the women down

Only offering men the privilege of elevators 

In the beam balance, the women weigh less 

While the men go soaring high into the sky 

It’s so unfair

That a women is treated unequal 

Because she sheds blood once every month

Or does not have the physical strength as a man

Her gender does not make her blood different

Her gender does not make her mind different

It does not make her success different

Tell her she can’t climb the mountain

For she is a girl, she can’t drive

Or own a business, or can’t achieve anything                                                                              And she will climb higher than you ever could

Achieve more than anyone

Because her gender does not make her ability different

She has a place on same throne as everyone else

And deserves the same respect

For one day

She might just be the CEO you’re working for.
