Women are people


Falling in love isn't real and I can't date

My father picks my husband and then that determinds my fate

Father picks based on wealth and honor
 
Without say from his most precious daughter
 
I have no say in anything I do
 
I stay home, clean, and cook food
 
I am fed up of being the one that stays home
 
but not being the leader of my own
 
My way of life needs a change
 
I want to change it for my daughter when she gets to be my age
 
Future generations of girls need rights
 
I don't care if my will results in fights
 
I will work hard and pound into the minds of the government and It's men
 
That we are people too, we are just women.
