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

    Your favorite book

    You can move on

    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
