How wrong can one living entity be?
If I were to prove the possibility of constantly,
Alongside the concept of completely
If I were to say to you it's daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
And remind of the times it's happens a couple minutes early
If I were to let you see,
Let you watch it play out in me,
Would you keep questioning me?
Would you finally let me be?
Just leave me to wallow in this myriad of pity
Allowing me to then get back to tripping over my own two feet for at least the rest of my eternity
I'm okay with it, really

International Women’s Day?
Don’t you mean 24/7/365?
That sounds about right
Just making sure you knew
That day was misconstrued
We don’t need a holiday for that
Women being free is a holiday in itself
We don’t need 12 days
We need 365
Because we’re going all year long
And we’re not stopping for anyone
Partners in crime
Without doing any crimes
Somebody to help make these words rhyme
Whoever helps pass these reckless times
Is worth celebrating every day by telling them how much you appreciate them
Because there might be a day that you will longer be able to
Women should be celebrated 365 days a year.
