PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am exhausted
from this 'modern' world.
The responsibilites
for the average girl
are overwhielming,
I'd have to say.
We work so much,
but don't get paid.
The expectations
of today's society
are really a joke
marked by sobriety.
They say that its changed,
this female slavery,
but its still in their heads,
they just have no bravery.
Men work hard,
I would never doubt,
they bring home the money,
but thats what its about!
The pay they recieve
is a natural selection
of opting out their help
in home imperfections.
It doesn't matter what we do,
we must do it all.
Unless we want to see
our 'happy home' fall.
So we cook, and we clean,
and take care of our babies.
We work two jobs
because we're 'real ladies.'
When do we get a break,
or a night out with friends?
I guess we'll keep working
until this slavery ends.
Until our men step up
and help us get through,
since it is twice as stressful
than what most of them do.
We'll break this false bond
that creates a false tie
of working 24/7
and catering to your guy.
And we'll all be equal
and it won't take so much time.
We can make some real money
and not fight over a dime.
We'll have more time to relax
and then maybe we'll want
to spend time with a man
that once did haunt
our every attempt
to do something big.
We will not be belittled
by this woman 'gig.'
I long for that day
and I'll keep pushing on,
until the female slavery
is finally gone.
