"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." by Maya Angelou


Bear the children,

Clean the house,

Cook the food…

It’s our job, right?

The job of a woman…


Get the education,

Always be the strongest,

Make the money…

It’s their job, right?

The job of a man…


I’ve been thinking

That this is wrong.


No man or woman should be

bound to one job;

We are bound though,

Bound to what we believe

we are supposed to be,

Bound to the boundaries we set.


Who was Susan B. Anthony?

She went beyond the constraints

of her position

In her performance of life.


So now I am left to wonder:

What is my job

Going to be?
