You tell me I don't need rights
You ask why do I fight
"You already have them"
"Why do you try to bring down men?"
Honey, if you knew
That all I want is acceptance
That I want equal chances as you
Would you still have the same stance
If you felt our pain too?
That we get called liars
The inferiority that's been wired
The double standards that leave us in tears
Facing your hate and jeers
And though it's been years
Why aren't we near?
Why are we so far away?
To the point we can't see horizon, much less another day?
These marches are needed, we decided
For people like you, still so narrow-minded.
My gods, why can't people understand gender neutrality, it's 2018 people, 2018
