Our unsung birds, the oppressed and depressed,
Those with traumatizing experiences.
Giving strength to them, starting today,
Hoping for better days.

Some women never see the light of day.
They wish for a ray of sunshine away from the demon,
Everything has been done, the most we can do is pray.

It may be a matter of perspective,
However in all eyes, men and women must be the same.
To get our message across, to get the proper objective,
We must be the voice of all who are silenced, who held their heads low in shame.

People thought of me as someone simple,
Pink, high heels, lipstick, and no pimple,
But you never really know the real me,
Dig deeper so you can see,

Hidden in the shadows like a caged bird, 
I want to be freed voice and be heard,
Know my worth before you judge,
I am a unique person, breaking stereotypes so you will budge,
So speak,
So you can be at the peak

that our purpose isn't just to conceive.
all that we have to do is believe
that cleaning houses is not the legacy that we leave.

so, speak up.
speak loud.
speak proud.

for silence is not something we can tolerate,
and rights are not something we can be deprived of.

speak up.
speak loud.
speak proud.

A beast beneath the moonlight lurks in the dark, 
looking for a young woman to find
It thinks women can't make a remark 
It thinks that women should hide

Disguises in a human form
As if it has humanity
Gawking, staring it beats me down
I can't understand its insanity

Although it thirsts for my blood
It gives me power to slay it
This beast will cease its terror
I will beat it and be the emerged victor 

For the tainted sorrow that the beast has caused us 
Let us look out for tomorrow's future that is upon us
We, the women who have been undefeated by the rain 
Lets our determination and femininity reign

But we can be exciting
Pushing through all challenges
Expectations of society
Expected to be attracting hourglasses
Under the strong, pouring rain
Pushing us to do things,its quite of a shame

Whilst in their skirts
With their faces full of makeup
With nothing in their minds except how much their noticeable 4 inch heels hurt
How about this?
And how about that?
Complaining,deciding
Its too much chit chat
They say we cant choose
In this society expected to be soft spoken
But can we go to reality in where comforted people escape their comfort zone
