I may not ever be able to lift those weights the way your
buffed up body can, nor could I last longer in a fight
without having the same lethal force behind every one of my
punches. But I've spent a thousand years honing the muscles in
my mind darling, a thousand years of suppressed emotions
building up inside me. Under your rule, I was deemed as the weaker
species and yet here I am, after all this time still holding my ground.
I've shed a million tears under the tyranny of your insecurities, taking
every good with bad, being used, being insignificant, being nothing more
than a soft cushion for you to lean back on when you're done with showcasing
your masculinity.
But the time has finally come now. Watch me as I lift the burdens of this dark
world with the sheer force of my will and watch me as I step onto the stool
carved with the innumerable sacrifices made by my sisters throughout history
and watch me love, as I finally climb to your height.
In the light of this poem, I have a question for you guys. What would be your definition of equality between men and women? For me, equality means relieving the societal pressure off of girls, especially in my part of the world and having the freedom to follow my heart without having to worry about how the society would see it.
