My Body


I am not one to get political 

except for when it comes to my body 

women's rights should not be dictated by a man 

men created the fucked up stystem that we live in 

men created the system to benefit themselves 

yet they have the audacity to complain 

when women fight for rights 

men complain that women should have none 

while school shooters are going unpunished 

women are being killed for wanting a choice

abortion is not for everyone 

yet having the choice is a right 

women in other countries cant go to school 

time seems to be going backwards

if roles were reversed 

and men had their rights taken away 

world war 3 would have started 

the men fear a woman's power 

so they seek control over them

praying no one hears their screams 

a fetus is not a human 

abortion is not murder 

learning is a right 

for my body I will fight
