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

    Covered in these colors

    I wonder what our parade will look like

    This year

    Will we parade with joy

    Celebrate tragedies

  • Type of Love

    Love is an open door?

    All you need is love?

    Love story?

    I know that feeling

    A bit differently

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is
