You Have a Few Years

It is bad, they keep saying,
To want for money.
To do something for yourself?
No, you are a woman, honey!
You have but a few years
Study, learn, earn, that’s it.
You have but a few years
You need to get married,
And then begins a new race.
He will want kids and They
Will want grandchildren in haste.
You will live their way.
Why you dream so tall?
You naïve! Just a few years left!
Care, so you don’t fall
Prey to ambition wretched.
Be a woman your body wants,
Move gracefully as expected.
Do not try to wear pants,
If you want to be protected.
Dear, alas! You are a woman. Do not try
To be what you want, now, don’t cry,
You have a few years left, then you cry.
