My body

Mine

By Olivia AlicePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

They tell us to love our bodies then they shame us

‘Just show us ya tits and we’ll make you famous’

Isn’t it funny how we birth men

Then they turn around and rate us out of 10

I’m sorry sir I don’t fit on your scale

When it comes to women a lot of you fail

Fail to see us, hear us or know our worth

You control everything about our bodies even while we’re giving birth

Well I say fuck your beauty standards, I love my body

We need more women in power, we need a whole lobby

Cause rating women from 1 - 10 ain’t it

I’m tired of letting a mans world dictate shit

Over it.
