An Equal Part of This World- a Protest To Fgm

I am not the lesser sex My sex may represent me But what I am and who I am Is held in my woman soul You can see it in my eyes If only you care to look And my spirit lives there always Even if you take away my pride Destroy my body on the outside Cut away at my softest parts Brutalize my curves Which are meant to be held and loved You will ruin what we could have And what endless joys we could share You could know the whole of me If only you would dare What is there to fear in me? For power lives in us all I will not take yours away from you But love you for your soul Together we could grow and share A world that listens to us both Our threads forever will be entwined Cherished and valued all Not matter from what side we are Our web will meet in the middle The eye it forms there a wisdom Our shared view of the earth So I am not the lesser sex But worthy of our world I shall always have a woman soul Cherish it for what it holds
