I Wish I Were A Man

from Natural Progression by KJ Johnson

/

about

This is the result of a series of haikus and is, ultimately, meant as social commentary, particularly in regards to the music industry. I swear I don’t actually hate men.

lyrics

I wish I were a man so that urination would be convenient
I’m sick of all the running faucets and pack mentality
Standing would be much nicer and I could mark my territory
With the world as my urinal, I think I’d be happier.

I wish I were a man so I could make more money
I’m sick of all the worrying about bills and sexual harassment
I’d fill larger venues without removing a single garment
With the industry in my favor, I think I’d be happier.

I wish I were a man so that you would take me seriously
I’m sick of all the nodding smiles and, “you must be PMS-ing”
I wouldn’t just be a pretty face, I’d be regarded for talent
With people seeing me eye to eye, I think I’d be happier.

I wish I were a man, but couldn’t give up being female
Despite all the advantages of being born with a penis
I wish I were a man, but I wish that men wished that they were women sometimes
I think we’d all be happier.
