Keep your mouth shut
and your head up high.
That’s what they all want
from a woman like me.
They don’t see the sacrifices
a woman makes when it comes
down to her being the woman
who has to eat for two
but she doesn’t complain.
Once told to abort something
so special before it gains
its beating heart.
That’s the price to pay
if she wanted everything
and nothing all at once.
