Yeah, it’s me
My poem is about gender equality
Isn’t it funny how much I care?
Isn’t it funny that I want to be treated the same?
No, no it’s not.
I get laughed at for saying it’s unfair
I try to say what I think but
I feel like every day
I’m being silenced
I feel small, weak
Why boys think they’re better
I’ll never know
Gender equality needs help so maybe go on yelp.
Everyone needs to be treated equally.
No gender should be discriminated even if they’re like bender.
Don’t discriminate the opposite gender.
Every one is equal.
Respect everyone and we can have a good society.
Even animals have genders.
Quietly help people around you.
A good society equals no discrimination.
Unite to help each-other.
Love each-other.
I would like gender equality.
Together we can work well.
You can make a difference.
Midnight in Dublin,
Killers in town,
They see a woman capable
Of taking people down.
They also see a man,
Too fearful to fight,
He looks so lonely
On the cold, dark, night.
The killers think carefully,
And launch their attack,
But why is it the woman
they stab in the back?
Next morning two deaths
Are announced on the news,
A man was run over,
The stabbed woman too.
His family weeping,
Hers in a rage,
And why is it the man’s death
That’s on the front page?
And what about this?
You walk in a store,
and some of the girl’s clothes
Are ten percent more!
We struggle, we stumble,
We work every day,
The men do the same,
But they still get their way!
The world can be cruel,
But us girls are clever.
And who knows what might happen
If we work together?
We’re leaders and lawyers,
We’re fighters, we’re friends,
We’re helpers and healers,
We bring peace, make amends.
So if you’re a girl,
And you think boys are cooler,
Think: are you a girl?
Or are you a ruler?
She said I should get help.
He said I should stop crying.
She said I needed a bigger bra.
He said I was too young.
She said face my fears.
He said Let’s go this way.
She said that I was heavy.
But she said I was perfect
She said I was lucky .
But my thoughts tell me something other.
She said I’m a nasty pig .
I’m beautiful said my mother.
She said I’m confused.
I say I was moved.
He said I need to listen.
I say I need to relax.
I say leave me alone!
This poem is from me to you,
And it is something very new.
I hope we will stay together,
And that our time lasts forever.
Through the sky and in the sea,
It is always just us: you and me!
Everywhere we spin and twirl,
We are dancing as we whirl.
You are the best,
Better than all the rest.
I love you,
As you can see.
Forever, it is just you and me.
let the respect be made
the actions you choose
are sharper than a blade
injury, misery
are all part of victory
you are a part of history
when it will end is still a
mystery
day, night or afternoon
be respectful it’s never
too soon
be the person to heal the wound
boy, girl, man or woman
in the end it’s just a human
poor, rich hungry or thirsty
for what it matters
it doesn’t concern me
They won’t understand
They just can’t feel the pain
They’ve heard the shouting, the screaming, the cries
They’ve heard them all, the fibs, the lies
They don’t understand what goes on in my home
They don’t understand why I want to be alone
They don’t understand why I’m scared of men
They don’t understand why I draw on myself in pen
They don’t understand the scissors and tape
They don’t understand I’m scared of rape
They don’t understand what I feel
They don’t understand because what is real?
Is this a dream, a vision, a lie?
Will I reincarnate once I die?
Will I be judged by what I am?
Or will I be judged on who I am?
They don’t understand I’m not ok
I don’t want them to say that they’ll stay
It’s all lies not the truth
Maybe I shall just jump off my roof
They read these poems and confront
Why can’t they read and understand?
Poetry is how I open up
It’s so long,
And I can barely handle it,
If it wasn’t for my friends
Then school would be the end of it.
So a huge thanks to them
Because without them,
I wouldn’t know who I truly am
It’s been a hell of a rollercoaster,
But with you guys by my side
It’ll all be fine.
