This is the law that supersedes all
Other laws:
Thou shalt not complain.
Thou shalt have a successful career
𝘢𝘯𝘥
Shalt be a perfect mother.
Thou shalt be innocent and experienced,
Rebellious—
But not too much.
Thou shalt never need help.
Thou shalt never age
Yet maintain a veneer
Of self-acceptance.
Thou shalt not be overly
Emotional
But thou art not permitted to be
Robotic.
Thou shalt be assertive
But lo upon the woman
Who dares express anger.
Thou shalt have infinite patience.
Thou shalt be progressive without
Challenging the status quo.
Thou shalt carry thy burdens with
Immeasurable strength and without
Disintegration or failure.
And ye shalt do these things, that
Ye might become the 21st Century
Woman.
