Double Standards
Why is it that I'm judged so differently than you?
I do the things daily that you get praised to do.
I clean, pick up the kids clothes and no one says a word.
And yet, when you do it, it's to a chourus of awws.
If I work, I am a bad mom, If I'm home, my aspiration's through.
If I go out I should be home way earlier than you.
I wish one day they'd see me the same way they see you.
A complex individual with more layers than two.
