Poet Blogger Makena Behnke reminds us March is National Women’s History Month.
don’t tell me how to wear my hair
don’t tell me how much makeup to wear
don’t tell me you don’t like my style
and definitely don’t tell me to smile
maybe in your small dumb brain you think it’s flattering
but in our big broad minds it makes us want to scream
screaming, though, is no big fun
our voices hurt and then get numb
though they turn to deep, hoarse voices
maybe then you’ll think we should have some choices
–women’s day is everyday
