Back Off From Me

My name is Jane Do you know me? I’m just another girl Standing innocently. I love to laugh And sing and dance I’m studying to be a scientist I believe in my path. The boys laugh and stare Catcalls ring I don’t know what to do It’s so frightening. I can’t defend myself Can’t speak up Can’t fight against them I’m just a piece of MEAT. What do you mean I’m supposed to trust them Let them make the decisions To make what I’ll be? Set my path for me Because I’m too weak Too stupid to understand Too womanly to seek. I have my own mind My own dreams and fears And right now that fear Manifests as he. Just because I’m weaker Doesn’t mean I have less value That I can’t do what you do I can’t think more than you. Stop trying to stop me I know what I’m doing I’m strong and independent Stubbornly pursuing. This future I set May be in the wrong But it’s MY choice to make Please do back off. Don’t you dare stop me My words, my mind, my choice My perseverance to reach higher To shoot off course. I’m more than a girl Than JUST another woman I’m more than my tits My ass my clothing. I can be “bangin’ hot” But damn it I’m more This is just a shell That holds my core. I am JANE! Smart happy kind I have a personality And dreams to fly. Don’t clip my wings We don’t clip yours Why do you stop me? What is your fears? That’ll I’ll be better? That I’ll rise above? That you can’t touch me Once I’m gone? But I’m not YOURS to touch To steal and violate I’m MINE don’t you see It’s MY world I’ll create. So don’t you DARE allow me Because it’s not YOUR allowance I need MY future I’LL set BACK OFF FROM ME.!
