It doesn't make it less a war on women just because you think I'm wrong
Because you think we’re at fault
That this is the story of murders getting what they deserve, but for what
I, too, matter
I am the unborn daughter.
The one with the heartbeat.
The one without a life.
But my heart still beats,
Am I a Republican or a Democrat
a liberal or a conservative
am I for gay rights or against gay rights
Stop the silent killing,
everyday thousands are dead.
Mass genocide,
no one even cares.
Spirits are unsettled,
lying in purgatory.
Some mothers are left unwell,
others take it as "oh well".
I will not be satisfied until I can leave my home
wearing whatever I please
whenever I please
and not be worried about who I may provoke.
I will not be satisfied until I know
First.
I dream.
Not just to dream,
But to imagine the world
How I wish it would seem.
Secondly.
I speak.
Not just to speak,
But to show how I am
Far from weak.
