The Song Book

Chapter6- Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince

I want to be free and independent; do all those things that men are allowed to do while I am not.

I want to touch the sky and reach for the birds that are flying high.

I want to be free from any worries about my safety; I don't want to constantly worry about my safety and remember the safety measures to protect myself.

I want to be able to get the same amount of respect, dignity and wage like my male counterpart.

I want to be able to take my own decisions be it regarding relationships or even what subject I want to take.

 I am not a damsel in distress but the dragon that you want to "protect" me from. I don't need a "knight in shining armour", because I am the knight.

Stop saying "boys will be boys & men don't cry". Say that "boys will take accountability for their actions & men can cry".

Love, don't hate. This is not a war; it is a fight against injustice and inequality.
