SILENTLY SCREAMING
'A PRETTY GIRL LIKE YOU
MUST BE SEEN,
NOT HEARD'
THEY SAID.
IMPORTANT DECISIONS?
OH WELL,
SHE DOESN'T
HAVE A SAY!
'STEP OUT, DARLING,
LEAVE THIS TO THE MEN',
THEY SAID.
'WHY DON'T YOU MAKE
SOME GIRL FRIENDS
INSTEAD?'
DOCUMENTS, PAPER WORK
AND RED TAPE?
SKIP ALL THAT HONEY,
JUST MARRY A RICH MAN!
THERE'S NO NEED
TO STUDY MORE,
WE'D RATHER
YOU STAY HOME.
A CAREER? MAKING MONEY? COME NOW!
DON'T TROUBLE
THAT BEAUTIFUL MIND
WHEN YOU
CAN JUST SIT PRETTY
AND
HAVE A COMFORTABLE LIFE.
'WE'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,
IF YOU'D JUST SHUT UP',
THEY SAID.
EXCEPT RESPECT AND DIGNITY, COZ HEY,
LIFE'S ANYWAY UNFAIR!
BUT THE MORE THEY TRIED
TO MAKE HER INVISIBLE,
THE LOUDER GREW HER CRY.
NOT BORN TO WATCH
FROM HER GOLDEN CAGE,
SHE WAS SIMPLY
MEANT TO FLY.
