I will still shine

You should've been born as a son
You are here to spoil your family's reputation
You are a product of your mother's misdone
I wish I had a son.

She's a girl teach her how to cook 
Do you want her in laws to be shook
Teach her the world is biased 
She must learn to stay quiet

You are a girl, sit like a girl
You are so thin, eat something
You are so fat, go on a diet
Don’t you dare eat carbs
It's only going to make you fat

Don’t wear your skirts up high
It should always be below your thighs
She is not even thin
And look at her showing so much skin

Wearing shorts , showing her thighs!
She definitely wants to be noticed by guys
If she gets raped
It's not a matter of surprise! 

You have so small chest
They aren't the best.
Oh boy you've grown
you will have a hard time walking alone

She is so ugly 
Neither her body is lovely.
She doesn't even wear makeup 
Ohh boy , she needs to buckle up.

She said being an actress is her aim
Comm'on she's a girl she can’t handle the fame
Going to work should stop
Looking after your house , your family and your husband should be your only job.

Looking for a girl for my son
She must be a virgin or else she is not even an option
You’re not married and you have a baby
You have completely destroyed the reputation of your family.
You have only given them pain and tragedy

I heard that her husband cheated on her
It must be her fault , maybe  she couldn’t fulfill his desire!
Jesus, She got a divorce
Her entire life is a remorse!

Shush! I don't want any embarrassment
So what if you had to face harassment
The world is biased and violent 
You need to stay silent 

The world never fails to 
make me feel like a prisoner in my own body 
It seems like eradicating misogyny has never been this world's priority! 
The world doesn't realize
That victim blaming shouldn't be normalized

It makes me sad 
That the terror and agonize 
I see in my mother's eyes 
When I'm home an hour late can only be alleviated !

Thousands to support his lies
None to hear her cries
None to help her rise
Thousands to shush her in his wrongs
None to help her fight for her rights 

It's a sad reality 
That we live in a world 
where a misogynist is praised 
While a feminist is considered a disgrace
 
There hasn't been a day when I'm not called nasty names
There hasn't been a day when I haven't ignored those whistles 
I am tired of all the cat calls
When, when will the world stop treating us like a doll 

I am tired of living in a world 
Where the hands that join in front of a   female god
Don't tremble or stop 
While hurting a girl.

I am forced to surrender 
Only because of my gender
If this continues,
How will the world get any better
 
I am not born with fire 
That can easily be put out 
I will shout 
For my rights , I will fight 
Weather it is or isn't ladylike !
 
The world is violent 
But now we can't remain silent 
Enough is enough 
The fight to support the rights has begun 
Soon we will shine as bright as the sun 
Even though we are surrounded by a typhoon 
Soon, we all will shine as bright as the moon
