‘Standards’ By A Girl In My Class

-

 Hi everyone, I’m back with another feminist poem today. I know that these poems deal with pretty heavy subjects, so if you are feeling like it is too much, feel free to email me and I can talk to you about it. The past few days have been part of this series so please go back and read them if you want to.

‘Standards’ 

Shut up 

Speak up

Slim waist

Pretty face

Big butt

Hourglass 

Try to be perfect

But still were not worth it

Doing the most

Just to survive

Trying our best 

Just to stay alive

Boys will be boys

They can do whatever

But the minute we speak up

They’ll blame us forever

Why can’t girls just be girls




Thanks for reading,

Amelia

It has an ISBN number, but it isn’t for sale anywhere - I own the only two copies that exist  I do ballet, and have done it for most of my life. My favorite role was Clara in the Nutcracker (!!!) - I didn’t get a dog until I was almost 11 - we got Luna Rae in March of 2019 and I love her so so so so much! She is already 2!!!  -  I’ve been to 36+ states! And counting...  - I was born the day before St. Patrick’s Day... half leprechaun??  🍀  -  I used to have my own personal blog (I don’t update it anymore) before I started thi

She Moved To Texas

 Hi everyone, Amelia here today. You might have seen the list of links on our side bar: Well one of those blogs is  She Moved to Texas , a blog about Love, Loss & Horses. I just recently discovered this blog in late March, and since have followed it continuously.  Lauren Mauldin’s blog is so inspiring to equestrians and (ehem) normal people alike. She has a dappled grey gelding named Poet, and you can follow her through the course of their relationship in a journey of joy and pain. This blog has so many stories that make you say ‘Wait a minute, I’m not the only one’, stories that make you laugh, and stories that make you cry.  It’s so inspiring to read about a fellow equestrian that has suffered so much and still finds refuge in the world of horses. Lauren’s blog is so amazing and real that when I finish reading an article I just have to sit for a moment and just say ‘wow’.  I definitely suggest reading  Letter To My Younger Equestrian Self , as it gave me such amazing insight into
