My body, my voice

You told me to smile

But I'm not your doll

Tried to cage me in
But I broke that wall

Tried to hush my pain

Make me feel ashamed

But I found my fire

And I'm not afraid

 

You don't get to write my story

Don't get to steal my glory

I'm done with your control

Taking back my soul

 

My body  my voice

This is my fight

This is my choice

I won't be silent

Won't be small

I'll rise

Even when I fall

You don't own me

I'm not your toy

I'll scream it loud

I will destroy

Every chain you ever tried to use

I'm not broken

I refuse

 

I should be able to dress how I want

Where I want

It's my body

Not a taunt

Don't twist my confidence into consent

This is who I am

Not yours to torment

You said I was too loud

Too wild

Too much

But I wear that power like armor and touch

Every scar you left

My battle paint

I'm the storm now

I won't be tamed

 

You don't get to write my story

Don't get to steal my glory

I'm done with your control

Taking back my soul

 

My body  my voice

This is my fight

This is my choice

I won't be silent

Won't be small

I'll rise

Even when I fall

You don't own me

I'm not your toy

I'll scream it loud

I will destroy

Every chain you ever tried to use

I'm not broken

I refuse

 

Stop trying to get me to take my pants off

You're a doctor

Really

Come on now

You're a pig

A fucking pig

 

I said no

Motherfucking no

Stop pushing me

Just let it go

My answer's mine

It won't rearrange

No matter how much you glare

Or change

You can try to silence me

But I was born to roar

You can try to bury me

But I grow through the floor

I'm a wildfire

A lion's scream

This is my life

My body

My dream

 

My body  my voice

This is my fight

This is my choice

I won't be silent

Won't be small

I'll rise

Even when I fall

You don't own me

I'm not your toy

I'll scream it loud

I will destroy

Every chain you ever tried to use

I'm not broken

I refuse

I REFUSE
