"You know you have it better in America than young girls do in other countries"

Yes but I'm not free

"You have the right to speak of your opinion and you aren't forced to marry someone"

Yes but I'm not free

"Yes, you are free, stop being selfish"

Free? You call unequal pay free?

I'm constantly told my body is an object for men to gawk at

Funny how men can be shirtless in public
But god forbid I want to be equal to a man

I'm not free here

White men have control over what I want to do with my body

I'm not free here

I may have it better
But I am no where near free
