I was born a woman
My rights were not available when I was born a woman
I was named shaped and given an identity
In all positivity
I smiled throughout my life
My creativity was mine
My femininity was mine
Then at 9pm the lights came on
My heart was won and soon nothing was mine
We must have met before life
The clock strikes 10pm and I am hurt again
It was ten men then, now the number has increased
My rights are taken, my womanhood is violated
My body is corrupted
I am cursed
I am dirty now, they have touched and scorned me
