Assertion


I won’t say yes just because you want me to.

I won’t nod my head and agree with everything you do.

I won’t listen without using my voice.

I won’t give up my rights because it should be my choice.

I won’t let you control me because I’m my own person.

I won’t change my body to fit your oversexualized version.

I won’t accept what you say about me to be true.

I won’t hide under your glass ceiling cause I’m meant to break through.

I won’t let you touch me if I don’t want to be touched.

I won’t vote for the man that thinks pussy can be clutched.

I won’t allow you to pressure me to do what you want.

I won’t become someone that everyone can taunt.

I won’t refrain from letting my confidence show.

I won’t be told that I don’t know more than I know.

I won’t give up whenever life becomes tough.

We won’t stop fighting till enough is enough.
