What A Really Me

Why sometimes they can not understand me?
Why I need to make them understand me?
Am I really have no right to be me?
Do I have no right to decide for me?

Why they have no trust that I can be?
Why they need to show me I’m nothing,but
Why I need to be like others,not me?
Why I need to be someone who I am not?

Why they need to dictate me always?
Will dictating me be forever?
Do I need to cross a million seas and bays,
Just to find my true own self here?

In the night sky where I can see my star,
Why they need to make my eyes be blind?
Blind that I can reach my star that so far,
Why they can’t go for me or support my behind?

Let me,then,be me,be you!
Be who you really are!
Let me be who I have to,
Be who I really am,be who you are!

In today’s fast-paced world, the sluggish progress in attaining gender equality is evident because patriarchy is dominating in many aspects. With that, misogyny arises due to the fact that most men, if not all, think too highly of themselves―it is as if they are higher beings who are in full control of the world. Estelito B. Jacob’s Pinagrok and Sylvia Plath’s The Applicant are just two of the many l...
