Fighting for the Right

Waking up every morning 

Knowing you can’t do things 

Like everyone else


Wanting to be free 

Having no idea where to start.

Who knew 

It would end up touching so many hearts


Go, go, Emmeline 

Emmeline Pankhurst:

The leader of our movement,

To get what we deserve.


“Remember the dignity of your womanhood.”

Christabel stood next to her mother

While everyone else stood 

Side by side

We will take hands and fight together


We cause many altercations

Your only punishment is incarceration

That will not phase us

We’ll continue to push forward


Took us seventy years

They finally listened it appears

We can now

Vote

Without anyone telling us we no

This piece is about a topic that I hold close to my heart. It is something that I feel like nobody could ever know too much of.
