Poems

Words I’d like to call art.

Girlhood

Because being a woman is impossible
be better (but never better than them)
be pretty (but never the prettiest one in the room cause then youre distracting the boys)
be smart (but never get expensive education you’ll be a housewife anyway)
be fearless (but never out brave the men)
be a good leader (but not that good cause you’ll be bossy)
be nice (but not too nice cause then you’re just asking for attention)
be honest (but never too honest cause then you’re a two-faced fake bitch)
wear make up (but not too much you’ll look like a hooker)
speak up (but not too loud then you’re annoying)
be girly (but not too girly cause then you’ll be a pick me)
be friends with everyone (but not everyone cause then you’ll look pathetic)
be popular (but not too popular cause then you’re basic)

I don’t like calling my art poems though much might say so, I never think that my silly little writings are ever good enough to be called “art” I always thought that, that would make actual poets felt invalidated. But if art is whatever the artist thinks is, then I’d like to think that this is art.
