Feather Swords

What are you afraid of Look in their eyes For now it's time You've been soft for too long Head on her knees Arms wrapped around her legs And just like a prisoner For freedom she begs For a moment they pray The other she turns to prey If she doesn't marry, she's faulty For crimes she never did she's guilty Each day every day she crumbles Every step she takes she fumbles Her lips are like sharp sword But she's forced to never say a word Taught to be humble, always calm It's the way you live without any harm But when they've lost all the humanity Why are you afraid to do the same When they've abused all their right Why are you afraid to still fight What do you have left to lose Why do you fear You can steal words, not ideas You can steal moments, not feelings If they do then let them For they can steal bodies, not souls
