People always say 

That we are one in the same 

But do their actions reflect their words? 

No, they’re ten times worse. 

Since the beginning, we have been smothered 

At the hands of those who thought us lesser. 

Do you need to understand it better? 

Then let me tell you how others have suffered. 

Kept in the dark and broke his heart 

What about the fact that she died getting him back? So stupid, caught by Cupid 

She just wants love, shouldn’t that be enough? 

Born with a gift and punished for it 

Showed a bit of pride and with that, she ruined her life Books and art, only good at being smart 

No, of course she can’t fight., that’s a man’s plight 

She attacks all men to protect her friends. 

She wants to keep them safe, that must mean she’s insane

A terrible demon who kills when she sees them Who cares that she was violated and her humanity, annihilated? 

Always a bother but never a mother. 

Your daughter was stolen, no need to be broken. Why do we judge before knowing someone? 

Betrayal, deceit. You wouldn’t act sweet. 

Just a daughter who supported her father. 

She loved her family, why treat her with inhumanity? Denier of desire and now she’s liar 

Just wanted to stay safe then she earned everyone’s hate 

Headstrong, impulsive, it’s all so repulsive 

Not to mention she protects all women in need 

Selfish and vain, that’s all there is to name 

Is love not important? Why is her image so abhorrent? 

Why do we focus on the worst? 

Why is every strong woman cursed? 

Why do we never try to understand? 

Why can’t women ever raise their hand? 

Or their voice? Remain silent 

Always be compliant 

You are feeble, we’re not equal 

Yet we must always be gleeful 

Be happy with our place

Face injustice with grace 

Why are we treated like we are not able? When will they see that we are capable? We can rise, we can fight 

We have strength, we have might So why won’t you let us? 

Why do you deny? 

Why are we treated like this? 

Ask yourself, why?
