Title: Learn your place
by Irene | in writing, poetry
Learn your place
That is what they tell her
Bitter shrew
That's what they call her
She should be submissive
She should know her place
She is but a woman
What does she know?
They look to her as an outcast
Her female opinions stifled in a man's world
They think she is cruel and vicious
They call me her name
They do not understand
My mind is but a mystery to theirs
My thoughts made to appear Insignificant
Foolish
Feminine
I would not mind quite so much
If they didn't make that seem like such a bad thing........
The Shakespearean play the Taming of the Shrew......
