A Real Woman Poem by naomi deluca

A Real Woman



They tell me what to do.

They tell me what to say.

They tell me 'be a real woman! '

And stand straight.

I am treated like a child

Feeling the need to hide.

When I want to lie,

Give in and cry,

They tell me stay 'with him, he'll change.'

To look away

And fake a smile.

Is this what a real woman is?

If so I'd rather not be one at all.
