I try to speak but the words fail
I cry out, but to no avail
There is a hand over my mouth
That keeps my screams from coming out
I have no voice, no way to proclaim
My anguish and suffering and my shame
I try to speak out, but on deaf ears
Not literally, but by careless peers
People who don’t care about my plight
People who see my suffering and get delight
I cry out, they don’t want to hear
I scream out, In my darkest drear
Now don’t get me wrong, People do come
When they want to use my body, get them some
I try to speak out while they are using me
They ears are even closed as they are misusing me
If they would open their ears just for a second
I would scream out forget the mythical legend
I am not a sex object with no feelings
I am not put here for your sexual dealings
I am a woman like other women, who cry
I am a woman like other women, who die
I am a woman like other women, who bleed
I am a woman like other women, who carry seed
I am a woman like other women, who need love
I am a woman like other women, what’s the difference whereof
The only difference between me and others
Is people’s ideas and stigma that covers
The women of color in america
We’ve been branded saddler
We don’t have to fall into that slot
Made to wallow in the slop
Let us rise from the mire
Be real women should be our desire
They won’t give it to us, let’s take it
Change the negative views, and forsake it
