Girl in a Man's World

It really sucks to be a girl

In a man's world

Everything designed

So it is never your time

Everything is rigged so you don’t succeed

Even though we’re all aware 

How much

They need

Us

Doesn’t matter how much you know

They don’t want you to be their CEO

There’s been zero women presidents

There’s a higher percent

Of presidents

Who don’t wait for consent

Or presidents with criminal intent

I’m tired and done with this mansplaining

And over explaining

Listening to all their complaining

I bet they find this entertaining

To watch a women

Try to reach standards for men

Should I say it again

We weren’t made just to be fun in bed

Or make dinner at ten

She will get that degree in med

It’s ok if she doesn’t want to reproduce

What's not ok is the amount of sexual abuse

When she says no he blows a fuse

It’s a harsh reality, the tough truth

It’s always been this way

For all the decades

Everything is man made

With a man in mind

Everything is designed

So it’s never your time

It really sucks to be a girl

In a man's world

    Taken to a new level

    The joy found in between the pages

    I always thought it would be like the movies

    Beach trips and ice cream

    Field trips and cheering on sports teams

    Late nights with fairy lights

    My first kiss

    That feeling of bliss

    It’s not
