A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle<br /> - Gloria Steinem


I will not let you control me or who I am

you may damn me for using my voice to assert my choice

but I refuse to bow my head while patriarchy wields its dread

crashing into lives smashing women's freedom and stealing away her rights 

I will not let you judge me solely by the color of my skin 

instead, I will stand tall lifting my chin

though you may wish me out of your country or dead 

I am here to tell you that:

I will stay until my dying day

I will be loud until you give everyone a voice

yet we still will not rejoice

we will be unstopped to make this nation, this continent, this world less corrupt 

with your Ideas, you oppress causing endless stress

with your laws, you lock children in cages 

regardless of their ages

ripping them from their mothers, will you ever see the pain you cause others?
