Equality it seems does not merely include me

Does gender imply polarity?

You have instilled within me that I am to remain meek

Pressing lies upon me as if I were weak

Your face contorts as you proclaim your inferiority

Though I detest this false authority

With bewilderment you curse at my femininity

Equating my worth to my virginity

As if it were meant to be lost

Or relative to an item with a cost

I apologize for my incompliance as this is not what my mother taught

My presence is obtrusively viewed as invitation

Open to inevitable condemnation

As if I needed affirmation

A social construct with no explanation

So here I sit and openly pitch a fit

To tell you the tale in how I refuse to submit
