A Woman’s Work

Nowadays women get very emotional
When you suggest they good at some things
I ain’t saying you HAVE to do nothing
Look at me? A man writing poems?  
Kinda gay right? Well... as a matter of fact
Yes it is! I’m a gay man.
But even if I wasn’t, would that mean I can’t write poems?
No... it just means I gotta try a little harder  
Jesus gave us gifts, but they different gifts  
Women lifting logs?
It’s not as easy for them
But it’s not like they don’t have strengths  
Women are AMAZING at some things
I know this well
Because poetry is not for men
Not without serious dedication  
I have to go 10X harder than a woman
So I understand what it means to be a woman in a man’s world
That’s the power of poetry
The magic of art
