Be You
A throwback free verse poem about being yourself.
Be You
Why can’t we live in our own skin?
Why is our truth defined by the features we possess?
Look at genders and see how possessed we are to have control
A male can’t do no wrong
If he cheats then he just cheats
But if a woman cheats she a hoe
Just thinking like, what’s really the goal
If he has a one night stand then he’s the man
If she has a one night stand
Then she’s even less of a woman
If her body count is over 10
Then she’s easy
And don’t deserve a ring
No point in even mentioning the men
Because at this moment his homies is calling him big pimpin
I say this to say why do we always want to control women?
Why does what she does contradict your personal thoughts on her?
If she make one move that’s unethical or not apart of tradition
Then she’s out of line and needs hoe to be her position
But why?
Why do they want to control what you do?
Just be you
Girl you beautiful
Everything you do will not satisfy them
It won’t satisfy him
Just be you
Because at the end of the day they will still judge
Best thing to do is be you
Or you will fall trying to be someone your not
Just be you
