My word should be enough.
My stop! No! Listen to Me!
Shouldn't be seen as a challenge
They're not a question, His word has set me free.
My words should be trusted--
not discounted because I am a woman.
Don't patronize out of misogyny
Even if they mean your reputation is busted.
Don't you know, brother,
He trusted women with the tomb,
That our Savior always values woman's words
He entered the world through the womb.
Blinded by your fear, ego, and pride,
You let boys' actions--emotional rape, slide.
While your sisters cry in agony,
"Won't someone listen and see?!"
That the savior you claim to follow
Didn't die so You could rule.
No, He died for all that are equal
So no woman's words are hollow.
Listen, brother, to His words that can set you free,
From a life of misguided fear--
that silences instead of loves.
For when you listen to your sisters, it allows you to truly lead.
