Do you hear the pleas and cries?
See the carnage left behind?
Feel the pain radiated through?
Begging humanity to ensue.
Am I fodder for the stronger?
A plaything for the taking?
I’m a mother, I’m a sister
I’m a friend, I’m a lover
I see the strains and pray for change
As my heart breaks and breaks again
I have love from above
I have light and human rights
Is it my body you abhor?
Making you treat me like a *****
Or my mind in your distaste
That drives you to debase?
I am stronger than your weakness
I shine brighter than your bleakness
I am kindness in your spite
My soul brighter than your plight
I will stand and expand
There is nothing I cannot withstand
Unafraid in your degrade
My spirit will cascade
Willful of my power
I will stand against your towers
My body you might beat
But my heart soul you will never defeat.
