Let me
Let me breath,
You making it hard with your hands tightly wrapped around my throat
The more I fight for peace the more you squeeze to keep me subjued

Let me dress my truth,
You make it hard with your callous words
That shame my body and bruise my pride
You loudly project my flaws across the street
For the world to scorn
The more I try to excercise my freedom of expression
You throw society norms at my face
Of what a woman is
How a woman should be
And where woman's my place is

Through my tight jeans and short skirts
Your vile words trace the pros and cons of my imperfections
With so much ease like you pointing at a menacane through a window shop
The more I resist your words to slow my pace
And give you no attention
You call me vulgar names I can't repeat
To boost your ego

Let me be
I'm not yours to dictate
Let me be I am not your property to rate and degrade
I am a woman and I'm human
