Who Gave You The Right?

I took inspo from the song Right, by Morgan St Jean

 

Stop

Telling

Woman

What

They

Can

And

Can't

Do

This is not ok

You think

Just because

When you were born

And the nurse held you up

Saying,

"It's a boy"

You think that gives you the right

To change my

Rights

Who decided that

Was it a council of men

A group of you and your boys

Saying we were made for you

I am not here for you

I am not going to help you

To give in

It's not your right

To mess with mine

What if I said what you say

Your worthless

Your less

Your weak

You don't deserve your own rights

I won't say that

But

What if I said

NO

Don't talk to me like that

Don't look at me like that

Don't touch me like that

Don't say things like that

How would you react

To that

WHO

GAVE

YOU

THE

RIGHT

TO

MESS

WITH

MINE

  • Home is The Place

    It's been two years

    Since I moved here

    One year

    Since I called it my home

    Home is the place

    With more dirt roads

    Than paved

    And the dirt roads

    Carry the name

    Of your friends grandfather

  • Why Can’t I be Both

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

  • The Way Of Life

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger
