Christina Burton’s Womanifesto
i dont need you to succed
i will stand tall,
and raise my voice
i dont want to be told how to dress, and what to eat
i
dont give a fuck what celebrity is on television
i dont want you to lower
your voice when i enter the room
(trust me im dirtier than you are)
i dont
want your hand as i cross the street, or get out of a car
i dont want you
to pay for my dinner, my movie, my ice cream
if i want it i will pay for
it
im tired of listening to your morals, your beliefs
they are warping my
friends, and familys minds
i am a female, strong and willing to do what i
must to maintain my own sanity
i dont need your religion, your social control
i have my teachers, i have my supporters
im different than you may think
im stronger than you think
you may push people away from me, but i will stand
my ground
i will feel openly, i will get angry when i see injustice
i will
shout openly at stereotyped movies,
i will boycott your gender specific products
i will use "androgonous" instead
of "metrosexual"
i will get my self dirty, i will use my senses, i will embrace
my life, and not be afraid
so all you little boys that are afraid of me,
stay away
i have no time for your bullshit
look out world here i come...
