It's Not Fair Poem by Destiny McGeough

Its not Fair


Its not fair that we have to be careful what we wear in public
Its not fair that we have to be so scared to walk alone at night
Its not fair that we have to live up to standards set by society
Its not fair that we have to fear rape all day, everyday
Its not fair that we are put into categories based on our bodies
Its not fair that we cant do what they can in public without getting funny looks
Its not fair that we have to worry about what they think
And most importantly
Its not fair that when I said "we" you thought "she".
