{Rules & Roles, by Alyssa}
%^£&@# these Gender Roles.
Narrowing our views
stereotypical muse
with these black and white rules
me and she,
play Ken and Barbie
why? We're stuck in the ruts of our own community.
We can't help it, we've been dealt it, a set of cards as a template
to abide by, stand beside why? It's simply how the show's to be.
alone in a crowd
we stand out, we stand proud
but who's wearing the pants
not long haired girl, no, she can't
she's a she with a her
and to the roles they refer when they're scouting out lovers-to be.
Look at US, look at Me show me what I think you see
when you see that she's not a he
and just dressed up a little mannishly
and guffaw, you're in awe
that buzzcut is decieving
still you're stuck with believeing
that she and she are copycatting
she and he.
acceptance is a hot commodity;
Do with it what you will, but let it not serve as a means for you to perpetuate these bloody Rules&Roles!
blend the binary, saturate the Roles&Rules with the blood, sweat and tears of your new and bigger ideas.
Too good to be hood,
too ghetto to be girly
ladies, do it like you do
