STAND UP
Stand Up
You deserve better than
To be belittled
Lied to
Cheated on
Discredited
To have hands laid on you for
Something other than love and affection
Made to feel
Less than you are.
Stop giving them the power
To take your life away
Make you feel less than,
Worthless
Women, you know who you are
And how you feel
And what you stand for.
It’s time to
Stand up
Make your voice heard
Be counted
Don’t accept less
Than you deserve
Make your opinion known
It’s time to force a change
Force the hands of the men
Who put you down.
Force them to realize
That you aren’t put on this earth
For their amusement
Or to be controlled.
Force them to acknowledge
That you are an individual
A strong woman of God
Who knows who you are
If they can’t accept you
For who you are
They don’t deserve you.
Don’t take less than that
Don’t settle for being the one
He can live with.
You should be the one he
Can’t live without.
