I am a woman
That shouldn't make me less human
I've got emotions
I bet you wouldn't want to see my reaction
But I have to express how I feel
Even though you don't think it's real
You slap me, I keep quiet
I do same and there's a riot
It's a taboo when a woman assaults a man
But it's next to normal when when men do same to a woman
I cook, clean, take care of the kids and act like a maid
But when half of it is done by a male, then he deserves some accolade
I'm told to sit at the back
Because the front row is reserved for the men in black
My opinions are mine for keeps
But yours is accepted even if it's cheap
You ask me to keep shut that I can't lead
You'll be in power because you're the head
We both attend an interview
And despite performing better than the guy in blue
He is taken because I'm a woman
And such jobs are reserved only for a man
I have denied and hidden my anger for so long
That doesn't mean I'm not strong
For it didn't make the anger disappear
It actually made it reappear
I don't care if you hate me after this rage
I'd be glad I freed myself from this cage
I am a woman
That doesn't make me less human.
This is my entry into #TeamGirlPowa Feminism Fire Contest
Artist Statement
I wrote this piece thinking about what women go through in the name of being a woman.
As a woman, we tolerate a lot in silence because of what others, especially the male folks may say.
I know it's totally alright to feel angry.
At least, it's even approved in the Holy books
be angry but do not sin.
It doesn't mean it's a sin and I don't know why it is seen as one when it's the female folks expressing this anger.
This is just a reminder - that we have emotions too and we have the right to express our anger; but please do not interpret it for hatred.
This is just a free rage which made me feel free from this cage.
The cage of women's silence...
how we've been made to keep quiet for almost any and everything....
