She's worth the world

I'm expected to not get mad ?
Not not have an attitude ?
How when sexism is clogged so far up your anus
Excuse me, i'm not man enough to say asshole
I'm not man enough,
even when I'm so done with the bullshit
In This point in time thankfully
Being a women is seen closer to being a human than a servant
But my mom works 8 hours shifts
Runs the house, cleans the house
Has a beautiful smile while the man
Just sits there and whines

Why can't I wash a dish without feeling like I'm entitled too because of my sex
My skin pulls back at itself whenever i am helping her clean your mess
But my love for her forces me to see it through
But not for you
Don't you ever by chance
consider it being all for you

She doesn't complain
because she wants to have a nice house
She Wants to have a decent looking family
But she wants to feel appreciated
while she was tired from working an 8 hours shift
She still went shopping for all of your shit
She's a vegetarian but she buys you your weekly half a cow
She does it so you'll at least smile
So don't you dare say she got you the wrong percentage of milk
I don't see any of the same mistakes you see
I just see you being the biggest representation of man
you can possibly be
A huge dick

She's not manly enough to get angry and yell
But I'm man enough to stand up
And Point you out on your shit
And get titled as a bitch
That's just
how    it    i
