If they only knew what a women's body do

My body is my body that can't be controlled.

If they only knew what a woman's body do,

would they show they care?

If they didn't tread away abortions,

The government felt no emotion

How can we go through this motion?

Keep it? Am I ready for it?

What if it gets worse?

My health will take its toll

Living healthy is my goal

Being controlled or being punished

Because I am a woman wanting be my own

Sick and tired of being ignored

I am a woman who has rights

They have their hands tied

My body is my body that can't be controlled

If only I can tell them

How
