We just don't need you

 

I don’t get

Why you control

Our bodies

When you don’t have

The capability 

To understand what it’s like 

To be a women

When you aren’t 

A women

When it’s a women's life or death 

You choose death

Nobody is a parent unless they feel ready 

When it’s happiness or pressure 

You choose pressure 

For what?

Do you wanna carry

Something that could

End your life

When it barely 

Is anything

Yet you want us

To keep going

So you can be in control 

Go ahead and try to be

A women

Try to know that you

Are going to die

Because of a decision 

That stops

Healthcare 

You’re going to die

Because of someone’s choice 

That has nothing to do with them

You will be tied down

With something you may not want

So stop

Banning what we need

Because you’re not a women

And you will never understand 

What it’s like to be us

We are stronger then you

Because you put down

The roadblocks

But we keep going

And do more then just living

We thrive 

In whatever environment

But you will need to stop

Hurting us

Because thriving is hard

And you need us

We just don’t need you

    It takes time to make

    But it's worth it

    And comfortable

    Community is like

    Your favorite book

    You can move on

  • When They Were Kids

    The past

    Full of mishaps

    Full of mistakes

    Full of mess ups

    Full of errors

    Contradictory

    We should learn about

    All the things we did wrong

    So we can get better

    But some people
