Women Independence
Never change who you are
Never change who you are for a guy
We were once required to wear only dresses or skirts
Don’t change yourself for a guy
“Who needs a man anyway”
We were once independent
What happened to protesting for the right to vote
What happened to wanting to be treated right
We were once independent, but in a society like today...
Women cry
Women drown
Women fall
We put makeup on to make you smile
We dress ourselves up to show you we care
We care enough to get dressed up
But you don’t care
You don’t see
Why should we sacrifice our strength for your needs
When we could be fighting for our equal rights
For the diversity to end
In the end we still are divided but you don’t see
Our independence rising
We stand together like they did back then
When one gets harassed we all get harassed
Imagine how that makes us feel
Being mistreated
We are all one in this world of division
Does it have to be like divergent
Where they make us feel different
Why does it matter if you're a female
Can’t we play in MLB
Can’t we play baseball too?
It doesn’t matter what we look like
It matters what gender we are
Hurt.
Angry.
Frustrated.
Dark.
In the end we strive for the diversity to end
For gender inequality to die
As we drown in a society like today
Why should we care what we look like
In a society like today
Why should we care about
What you think…
Don’t change yourself for a guy
Do not alter who you are
In a society like today
In a society any day
Change yourself for you, and not anyone else
