She couldn’t fight when her father didn’t want her home She couldn’t fight when her mother told her not to roam She couldn’t fight when they “married” her off to another man She couldn’t fight when he left her to pursue his lifelong plan She couldn’t fight when she held her crying 1 year old She promised herself to be bold She stood up to the world, the world that said she couldn’t She fell back down when they said a she shouldn’t

She Shouldn't
She couldn’t fight when her father didn’t want her home She couldn’t fight when her mother told her not to roam She couldn’t fight when they “married” her off to another man She couldn’t fight when he left her to pursue his lifelong plan She couldn’t fight when she held her crying 1 year old She promised herself to be bold She stood up to the world, the world that said she couldn’t She fell back down when they said a she shouldn’t
