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

  • We're Next

    Whispers travel in the halls at school

    Weaving into people's brains

    And people decide whether they like

    What is going on

    In a split second

  • This Book

    There was this book

    That I used to read

    When I was younger

    It talked about all these women

    All these women

    Who did amazing things

  • Magnets

    When magnets are placed the right way

    They connect

    When they're placed the wrong way

    They use everything in their power to stay away

    From each other

    They resist

    With a force
