how i feel
I’m too skinny,
But them I'm too fat,
I'm too loud,
But then I'm to quiet,
You’re too pretty, you’re going to steal my boyfriend,
But you're to ugly, you’ll never get a boyfriend.
You show to much skin,
But then you don’t show enough.
Show respect to every man you meet,
But all of a sudden I'm a whore.
It is impossible to be a woman,
It's either this or that, do this
But don’t do that.
Then you expect me to be kind all of the time,
Don't ask why I'm always so ‘ bitchy ‘ when this is how I live.
don’t tell me I'm ungrateful for my privileges when this is what happens everyday.
It is unfair, so unfair.
