Life is a beautiful thing to experience they say
But from the moment she's born, it's one struggle after another
Sadness and hostility from those who expected her other
Deemed unworthy of love forgetting she can't choose her gender
She grows to learn her duties and responsibilities
From cultured laughter to cooking recipes
It's an unending list of basics she must follow
Or her head would be served on a platter for dinner
She must not stray from the title of little miss perfect
Excessive clothing and hair coverings in the fierce weather
no room for error in her gender bible
It's the condition for survival in a man's world
She's blamed for a crime committed against her
They ask her 'why' when she's being battered
A girl's world is behind the counter
Or better still, the kitchen walls
Despite all, she makes a decision to stand tall
She picks up herself and makes sure she works harder
Pushing against the standards she has been made to follow
She has to be a bright light to liberate her fellow women
God is merciful to give us two genders
He answers the prayers of biased humans
Gives us the grace to grow and assign different roles
Perhaps one gender will leave us no choice but to survive
