ingrained
ingrained in our brains
the need to be thin
the need to be thin
so we fit in
ingrained in ours brains
ideals of beauty
ideals of beauty
to be pretty is our duty
ingrained in our brains
be nice and sweet

watch how you speak!
unburden your brain
let yourself be
embrace who you are
woman be free

Period
A gift from mother nature
to bring about new life
a blooming flower to show
you're ready to be a wife
red river or crimson tide
that time of the month
if your temper rises
you must be on the blob
those pesky women's problems
bloody mary'd to the max
and for the womanly privilage
they added luxury tax

Shower
Sanding in the shower
Thinking of my woes
Comtemplating life
Water circling my toes
Washing only take a minute
Thoughts and dreams much longer
I love this time for me
It makes me feel much stronger
A knock at the door
Breaks me from my reverie
"Mum, are you done yet?"
Ah, back to reality

Superpower
I have a superpower
It's really something to see
From family to strangers
It transforms those around me
It can make the sad feel happy
It can brighten the darkest day
It can make the ill feel better
What more can I say
Can you guess what my power is?
On it you cannot put a price
It's the coolest superpower of all
Being really nice
