My Sisters

I love my sisters.
I love having them in my life.
But at the same time,
I wish I didn’t have any sisters,
Because of our society.

Having sisters means being constantly worried about them.
Worried about how men look at them,
And what they say about them.
I don’t need to hear those things myself.
I know how men are like.
I trust my sisters,
But I don’t trust men.
I keep wondering how they treat them.

The thing is, I know what goes through a man’s mind.
It wouldn’t have been a problem,
If men treated women respectfully.
But that’s now how it is.
I know what they’re thinking.
I know what they’re trying to do.
I know they have a specific goal in mind.
