The Shift from Truth Decay by Skylerwhite

Have they done enough yet,
to earn their agency and respect?
The more they speak up,
The more eager we are to dismiss.
'Cause i regret many things I’ve said,
I’ve been a part of problem,
Now I’m a part of the shift.
Cause it was all out of ignorance,

And I’m trying to make up for it.

No longer will I stand by,
Can’t look our mothers in the eye,
Cause it’s a losing battle,
When there shouldn’t be a fight.

While you laugh it off,
Another woman's been raped
and then told it’s her fault.
And she'll work free for two months of the year,
And she can't walk the streets alone without fear.

And not every story's the same,
But enough is enough
Time to make a change.
I'll take my share of the blame,
Until we can all feel safe
at any time, in any place.

I've been a part of the problem
Now I'll be a part of the shift.
