My Body, My Domain

Hello, I'm not what I seem at first
Looks on my magnificent curves
It's fantastic how you see me swirl
It's romantic how you all obsess and flirt

The male gaze can be such a bore
All they can do is make my back sore
All they really want is to reach a score
Leaving all self importance to the door

Telling me what I want to hear
Giving me all sign they want me near
Trying to pitch me all your fantasy
Make me dream and hope for ecstasy

Never want me talking
So let me tell you something

My body is my domain
In this instance, I'm the man
My assistance, I'll reign
You can just hope, I see you again

My innocence, your attraction of yesterday
And my difference made you lose all interest
Such a huge turn off, that was deliberate
So foolish, did you think I was born yesterday ?

You made yourself a laughingstock
Branding yourself as a nasty dog
Betting everything on a fluke
Do you really had to act so crude ?
Only making me want to puke
You are still thinking that this all because of one dispute


It's not just you, not just me
It's the world that sold this fantasy
Society pushed the lie,
And now we pay the fee

You only wanted a trophy to show off
Making me desire to only pop off
But I only go out with a bang
Know that you will get a taste of my fangs

My body is my domain,
In my hands, I’ll take the reins
Dream of ever seeing me again,
Straighten up; it's time to be a man

But don't worry, I feel pity for you still,
You're just a pawn in this shallow thrill.
Stuck into the vice of this cold society
Trying to fit the bill as a nice guy no variety

You're taught to only go for the looks
But now I shook your whole worldview
Left you clueless, caught in the hooks
As I crack and yell every issue

Poor men, poor women, trapped inside a box,
All of this driven by fear of the sharks.
That’s the fate when scrutiny feels so normal;
Now those who seek chastity are deemed abnormal.

Teenagers branded as sex maniacs,
Viewing woman merely as a tasty snack
And all the virgins eager to shoot their shot
No innocence left, as their brains rot

This hookup culture thrives on promiscuity,
While mocking purity with such impunity.
There’s no clear winner in this endless war;
Every side shows flaws that we can’t ignore.

Glamorising, slut shaming
There's no way I could blaming,
Anyone else but society
Now taste all my fiery

My body is my domain,
It's my opinion, I'll take a stand
Men or women, we're not a brand
Our identity should not be planned

Oh society, you and me
Caught in a toxic relationship
Oh society, listen to my plea
We're sailing on a sinking ship

Let go of all your gender roles
Let go of all your control
We deserve to be more than animals
Not brainwashed to be radical

Put against one another
As we all don't have a mother
Is there really anything other ?
We're all humans, why fight each other ?

Oh society, such scrutiny
Reflect on your unity

So break the mold, forget the rules,

We're more than what they teach in schools
Think for yourself, use your brain
There's nothing here to feel ashamed

There are women and there are men,
That’s nothing to be ashamed of, friend.
We both can feel the weight of pain,
And we both have our own names.

Just be you for a while,
I’m not asking you to commit a crime.
Find yourself, create your style—
Be unique or never mind;
It’s your choice, not mine...so redefine
