20 pounds

20 pounds

How much do I pay so that you will not touch me with that finger of yours
5 pounds?
10 pounds?
How much will it cost for my freedom
Once upon a time you mattered
But now you no longer worth a thing

In my eyes you were strong and the one I had faith in to protect me
Now I shiver whenever you are close to me
It is no longer funny when you think you own me
Or you think that the only good thing about me is my body

I am smart and I know
I can change the world and I know
Do I have to pay 12 pounds for you to consciously resist the devil whenever he gives you those ideas

14 pounds?
How much does my freedom cost
I don't want to remain this way
Fear of the unknown
No! I don't

I look at the Lady Justice and I say to myself
Does she really care
Evil has eaten deep and is affecting our girls
Is she blinded by the popular saying of boys will always be boys
Or her hands curfed to the society, always ready to judge
Forgetting that the world is small and that life takes turns

Should I pay her 20 pounds for her to fight for us
And to resurrect decency,  respect and honour for our girls
How much will it cost
Because we are tired
We are tired of being pushed to the wall.
