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

    I want to cry

  • Scared to Fall in Love

    What happens if I fall in love

    And no one's there to catch me

    What if I give them the world

    And they ask for the universe

     

    What do I do if falling in love

    Is like free-falling but not knowing where

  • Can't Change Me

    She upsets me

    Her face

    The way she laughs

    The way she talks

    She's like the piece of hair

    That is never in the right place

    Why does she even wear that

    Why does she look like that

    Looking at her
