If He Can She Can
Hair
Nails
Face
Boobs
Vagina
Define how we are
Mistaken for objects
For ages they think they can buy us
They think they can sell us
Mistaken for property
Nothing more than a fly
Irritating and getting in your way
We are like the salt in the water that we need
Unwanted
Hard the get rid of
That make your day drain
Getting in your way
They say
They complain
And we restrain what has been done
While they remain problem free
We are the napkin they clean their hands with
We are the mat they wipe their feet with
We are a trained pet
Trained since we were brought to this world
Taught to hand them the beer that was standing right next to them
Taught to serve, make, clean up after them
getting in trouble for sitting
They treat us like dirt
But want us to act like gold
Tell us what to wear, say, or do
Tells us not to be with a group of men alone
Cause if we do we are sluts
And an embarrassment to their family
They sit there doing nothing with their arms crossed and legs open
While
If we are lucky we sit
We sit there with our legs crossed
Cause it's inappropriate for us to sit with our legs open
We think it's okay
Cause even our mom tells us to do the same
How to break free
if are mothers are manipulated as well
They think it's their place
so we think the same
but what place
the place of a dog that does what you say
We are a puppet
Who follow the strings
We are weak
Unable to think
Useless without men
They say
They said
they say
and they keep repeating
We let them define us every day
But why
It's time for us to end this horrible habit
Cause if we don't no one will
For years the U.S. Brags about how great we are
And having equal protection
Yet we stand here being paid less for being a woman
Hearing the phrase "all men are equal"
Everyday
If this is equality
Then being abused is okay?
Absolutely not!
And if no one else see's this as wrong
Than everyday that we are living
Is a day filled with lies
.
So let's change this
If no one else is
Cause we are the ones being destroyed
not he but she
We are not what they say
We are what we say
We are a flower
So pure and delicate, yet strong
People constantly keep stepping on our beauty
Trying to destroy us
Yet we keep growing
I can no longer take it can you?
We are intelligent, amazing, interesting and much more
But we are most importantly
A person as well
So let's treat ourselves like one
And make everyone else treat us like one as well
We define who we are
Cause if he can she can!
