What Is Your Role?

Roles of people

Where given to be able-

To do what society dictates-

But judgements were put to weight

Gender

Does it really matter?

Certainly no

But people were afraid to show

Why?

Acceptance

Merely a word of action

Something that is allowed

Without protest or reaction

Is it possible to happen?

For some reason, it will be-

As woman moves gracefully

She dances with the strings attached

Like a puppet with a latched

What the society says

She moves accordingly

As for men

Who were seen as powerful

That protect women

Which is a role for masculinity

One, who speaks

The truth

Behind what they feel

Will somebody listen, if to put-

To context, you are not allowed

What the society tells, molded

But strip, skin bare and tell

What makes a person?

Says that dwells

It is the society's norm?

No, it is you, your decision

Everyone is the same

Dignity, it's true

And that is something, not even-

The society can take away from you
