I Am Woman
Location
I am a woman
I do not wait for my prince
I do not stand behind a man
I create my own paths
I walk my own journey
If they say “shh”
Don’t speak
I SCREAM
So they can hear my story
If they say “stop”

I RUN
So they can know my struggles
Why does society say
Get married
Bear children
Stay home
Cook
Clean
Why can’t I be a
Neurosurgeon
Businesswoman
Geneticist
Pharmacist
Diplomat
Take away my voice
We will speak for her

Take away my feet

We must show the next generation what it truly means to be a women
