As a woman I have been told I am so much prettier when I smile Even if the pain behind that sparkle In my eye has been there for awhile As a woman I have had my body Stolen from me Made to feel like a toy To please some shallow boy As a woman I have had my mind Stolen from me Made to feel inadequate If I don't fit the norms society dipictsΒ As a woman I feel trapped In a world run by misogynistic men One step forward, three steps back Your job is to serve Anything else we condemn As a woman I have had to listen To men make decisions On our behalf As they sit up high on their horses Satisfied and accomplished, they laugh As a woman I have seen equality snatched From our hands Time and time again As a woman I am made to feel equal When that is not the case We may have won the vote But we are losing the race As a woman I will not give up this fight Even if sometimes it feels hopeless And I am filled with trite As a woman, I am proud to call myself a feminist Even if some roll their eyes Their teeth they ignorantly kiss As a woman I will make my voice heard I am calling on you today Every man, woman, boy and girl As a woman I will march until my feet tire Until all women on this Earth Have the opportunity To do whatever they desire As a woman I stand together With others just like me Fighting for the day We can all be free
