I am a child not a bride.
I am a child not a wife.
I am a child not a mom.
I am a child and I have rights.

I am a child not a bride.
This is too much, too early for my age
To make me a vow to be engage
How could I marry a man, 3x of my age?

I am a child not a wife.
How could someone own my life?
Do I deserve all this strife?
Why don’t you just **** me and get a knife.

I am a child not a mom.
Giving birth, I almost died.
I should be studying, not nurturing.
I should be living, not dying.

I am a child and I have rights!
Rights for life, education and liberty.
Rights you own and taken away!
Rights that I should have, but never you give.

How could someone rate for my virginity?
How could someone take away my liberty?
How could someone trade me as customary?
Why they don’t want me to live happily?

I am living for all their concerns
They took away all my innocence
For the days that I scream
Did anyone care about my dream?

How could I explain the beating?
It feels like I am dying.
My hurt had no healing
Nobody think about my feeling.

I AM A CHILD NOT A BRIDE.
I AM A  CHILD NOT A WIFE
I AM A  CHILD NOT A MOM.
I AM A  CHILD AND I HAVE RIGHTS!
