I was told today that I can't be both a Feminist and a Christian
"Really Lexi, this again
Why can't you just pick one of them
You don't know whay you're saying."
"No you are not" is what they say
to me again and again everyday
"Why don't you just go away
be normal and go and play."
But I'm trying to tell you who I am
I don't expect you to understand
but why do you make me feel as small as sand
instead of just listening
You act as if I've commited a crime
as if these words can't be mine
as if my mouth should have a bedtime
you shut me down
What is wrong with people today
we're so divided in every single way
all I want to do is say
Please end this destructive fray
But I'm "just a kid"
people didn't act how I did
that sat still and pretty and hid
if they ever did something that was forbid
As much as I hate it when people are mad
maybe don't try to make others feel bad
then we can all be in harmony and glad
and we can all gad
together
but this wonderful sounding universe
where all of us live without having to curse
cannot become properly versed
until we stop judging others first
I am a feminist
I am a Christian
I am proud of both
So hear me and listen
Nothing you say or do
will convince me I'm not
because hunny let me tell you
I am tougher than you thought.
