Honor Us Women
I want to ride on the back of bees
I truly wish you would recognize me
I claw into myself
I clean it up
I get thrown in the trash
for the garbage pickup
I display raw strength
as I am meant to do
Not a clap for me
but a medal for you
I'd like to understand why
a man's name is glorified
while a woman, a morning glory
is told to step aside
See I
through all my life
have tried and tried
won this and achieved that
all for not in a man's eyes
Now don't get me wrong
I am not here to pick sides
but to be honored
as a girl
just as much
as a guy
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
Our world
