my body, my choice

my rights include a voice

so why should i "rejoice" if the government 

fights to take away the rights i'm so rightfully granted?

should it be difficult to want to be treated like a human?

or shall i sit back as my potentially free life is discarded of and destroyed?

as it's thrown in the incinerator right in front of my eyes?

 

"girls shouldn't show their shoulders, it's distracting."

why are you observing me like that then?

you seem to be the only one distracted

 

everyday, women's rights get slaughtered and their future daughters have to

witness this trouble as well

can't you tell?

my body, my choice

you are not allowed to take away my voice

i'm not an object to boys

and i'm worth more than your silly coins


The author's comments:

I believe that it's impossible to be a woman today, even a girl. America Ferrera's speech in the Barbie movie inspired me to vouch for this topic, actually!
