Participant 28

🎵try me🎵
I am the first child
The only girl child
Is that why
Is that why I get invited to family meetings to act like a hearing aid while they make decisions
Is that why my boss tied down my long waiting promotion like a beast that if let out could kill, 
Is that why my husband wakes up and decides what ever and gives me a slap for complaint bonus
Is that why the street becomes a crime scene for me when cultural parade goes on
Is that why I can't rule my home for two seconds, 
Junior won't even listen to me until dad is around
May be that's why the nation holds political tables and chair from me
Is that why I chop slaps and drink tears for breakfast 
All they want me to do is to 🎵stay in the kitchen cooking, up cut my own bread🎵

I have heard I am the weaker vessel so I don't bother going to the market for buying and selling punches but the society mold me to be so receptive
Depression became my best beach where I relaxed all day, most times all week
No body wants to hear that 🎵i'm just a girl and i am on fire🎵

Hey work 🎵can we just talk, can we just talk, talk about where we're going🎵
I think I deserve better
I deserve equal opportunities
Equal pay
I am weak in hand yet strong In mind and heart
Try me
Give me the chance to show you that I can do them.
I can fight my fears and even yours if you let me
I can fly opposite the wind direction if you let me, 
my opinions can make the meeting that was supposed to be adjourned to be concluded.
Let me show you that 🎵this girl is on fire🎵

Let me stay in the front sit with you
So, If your hands are weak, 
Give me the steering, let me drive
i respect that you are my head, 
But please, make me a useful neck..
