We started out as daddy's little girls
And you did your best to shelter us from the world
But somewhere along the line
The world was not so kind
When we needed you most
You disappeared like a ghost
Drowning in a case of Labatt Blue
Thinking we had no clue

Green grass
And rainy skies
A subtle reflection
Of her tear stained eyes

Cracks in the pavement
Writings on the wall
It was only a matter of time
She was heading for a fall

Listen to your stomach growl
Your heart beat
Your soul howl
You mustn't retreat

You're hungry
You're alive
You're angry
So do something about it

Into the wild
The concrete jungle
Brave face, thick skin
Or you'll never make it out again

Tried to run from it, the jungle
But like a lion and its prey
It tracked me
                            d
                              o
  ­                              w
                                 ­  n

Dragged me
                         d
                            o
                               w
                                   n

Tore me to pieces
Chewed me to the bone
Left my ****** corpse
Lifeless and alone

They planted the tree of doubt
But I nourished the tree
Let the tree grow
Blossom
Thrive
Invade
Overtake
Become me
Until one day
I grabbed the tree by the roots
And ripped it out
With all my might
And just like that
I was free

She's big and she's strong
She's mostly right but sometimes wrong
She's got moves and she's got beats
She keeps the blood flowing from my head to my feet
She's pure as gold
And doesn't always do what she's told
She gives me life and works everyday
And when she stops, my life she'll take away
She's my heart
And has always been a work of art ♡

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 dipicts 
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
