"I will not bow, I will not break, I will shut the world away..."
(Breaking Benjamin)
I have Rosa Park's mugshot in my room, to remind me of what she did for equality. She refused to give up her seat on a bus for a white man. I have countless books filling my shelves, each one filled with Maya Angelou poems. She didn't let anyone tell her what she could or couldn't do.
So why should I?
Why should I dress from head to toe in black, and leave my house with a male relative? Why should I marry a man I do not know, just to please my father. Why should I put my head down and do what anyone tells me to do? Why should I lower myself to a standard to a lower standard than what I deserve? Why should I not feel like the queen I was born to be?
Why should I give up on what I believe in, just to satisfy the status quo?
Can anyone answer that for me?

This is to all the girls and women who feel the oppression, even in America. I am not Muslim, but I did a lot of research and saw some scary numbers on what women are allowed and not allowed to do. Ladies, STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!
