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 don't know what it is

    I have never wanted

    Something more than I do now

    The problem is

    I don't know what

    I don't know what

    I long for

    What I reach for

    It's like a dream

    Blurry and unrecognizable

    I want this thing

  • Reporters

    In the car

    After dark

    With the headlights shining

    On the wet pavement

    Like stars on the ground

    I curl up in my seat

    And the news is on

    Voices fill the car

    Not my own

    Not my dads

  • Fictional Love

    I want that feeling

    The thing in books

    In movies

    The fictional love

    The one I dream about

    The one that I see online

    The one I read about

    I want not just the butterflies
