This is the difference.

We both say what we believe

But what you said was sweet and thoughtful

What I said was pushy and rude

We both succeed.

But you are hard-working

I am a suck-up.

We both cry.

But you are sensitive

And I am weak.

We both scream.

But you are strong.

And I am crazy.

We are both independent

But you are encouraged

I am pushed down.

You are a leader for having an opinion.

I am a bitch for having mine.

You speak, and people listen.

I speak, and people laugh.

And then I try to refute the arguments that I am somehow less qualified

somehow less capable-

But then I realize you are right.

I am less qualified.

And there’s nothing I can do.

Because regardless of my talents or my abilities,

I will never get the same respect as you.
