I am a miss

I am a miss

Not amiss

Not a “ms”

I am a miss

Why?

You ask

Women’s rights allow us to be called ms

You say

It’s the female equivalent of mr

You state

It removes the importance of marriage

I get that

I reply

But, I am a miss

And here’s why

I’m not married

I’m more than happy for people to know that

It is part of who I am

So give me the right to tick the “ms” box

But don’t you dare take away my “miss” box

Because I am a miss
