No More

You are condemning 

the daughters of America

To a constricted life


Reaping our souls 

Before we are

Adults


The next generation

Of young women

Are not given a choice


You don’t own our body

And what we do with it


Never have

Never will


This makes you power

Hungry so you

Take away our services


Your “freedom” is

Flase

You give it only 

To men


Yet you chain

Our health to

Your ideas


You control our choices

Now we have none


We can only 

stand and watch

Crying our silent tears

That you seemingly

Must control


No more!!

I say.


No more!!

We say.


Try your worst to contain

Us our spirit our power

Our desire

You will never.


If one sentence

One idea

One hope

Can change the world…


Than it can certainly change

One Country


No More!!

Will you make 

Decisions for us


No More!!

Will you limit 

our choices


No More!!

Will the girls 

And women of America

Get overlooked.


No More!!

Period

Yesterday I went to a small community festival down town. One of the vendors their was a book store with bags and pins and stickers. One of the bags I bought. Though I got weird looks and some glares while adoring it simply because of my age. Someone has to do the dirty work some one has to speak up someone has to. The Bag said Keep Abortion Legal. They adults are giving away our choices before we are allowed to make important decisions for ourselves. Kids at school call me a jerk for speaking my mind. If a jerk is someone who is going to speak their mind and not give into hateful words and jeers. Then I wear the title of jerk proudly.
