Sick of being a woman

A poem about a woman's suffering

 

 I am sick of the stares that follow me everywhere

And of the letches I find on the street

I am sick of being catcalled on roads

And  then asked to be silent about it

I am sick of the curfews that my parents impose on me

And their fears about my safety which it reflects

I am sick of the rape cases I hear about everyday

And the threat that i might be its victim too

I am sick of acid attacks

And of onesided lovers whose love isn’t actually love

I am sick of listening about dowry victims

And of how people burn their brides for money

I am sick about not being treated equally as men

And the discrimination I see everywhere

I am sick of being judged by my clothes

As if they aren’t my clothes but my character

Yes I am a woman

And trust me I am sick of it
