My feminism broke the mirror.
April 21, 2019
When I looked in the mirror
I did not see my face
I saw a weak little girl
Who would bend at the waist
Who would bow down to power
Cause that’s what we’re taught
Our personalities don't matter
As long as were hot.
Yes-women are flowers
We are forced to behave
But I tell you I don’t want that
I want to be treated the same
No sir-I can get my bag
No sir- pay me the same
Cause when I look in the mirror
I know I’m not to blame.
