What They Expect
Accusing eyes
Burn our flesh
Because what we are
They cannot accept.
They love with rules
And expect us to comply
It doesn't matter
What we feel inside.
We are shamed
For not being what they expect
Their gaze won't wander
Their eyes are set.
On the way
That we should live life:
Get a husband, have some kids,
And be a loving wife.
Well a wife I will be
But not to a man
That is as clear
As the lay of the land.
