Confidence is a Necessity
I cannot live
without my confidence
Because in a world
where women
are seen as
Weak.
Sensitive.
Little.
Dolls.
You cannot succeed
if you don’t believe in
yourself
You cannot succeed
if you don’t have
confidence
So with my air of confidence
and my words of wisdom
I will make heads turn as I exude
confidence
poisoning my enemies with my
independence
and influencing my fellow sisters with my
confidence
I am done playing dollhouse
I am ready to CONQUER
everything that comes my way
I am a WOMAN
I won’t sit and look pretty
I won’t let my daughter be silenced
When she shouts and gets loud
I won’t shush her
I will empower her
I will tell that her what the mirror reflects back
Is not as important as what you reflect on life
When someone questions
her confidence
And tells her-
Girls must sit and be pretty
Oh Honey let the men talk, just sit and listen
Oh don’t do that, girls aren’t built to do what men do
She will answer back-
Why must I be defined by what I have inside my pants
Rather than what I have inside my head
You should value my brain just as much
As you value what is in between my legs
And you know what
You sit and listen
Because while the men talk
I will lead armies of women
To destroy
your corrupt
definition of a woman
And last but not least I agree with you
Women were not built to do
What men do
Because we were meant
To do much more
We were meant to overcome years of oppression
We were meant to bring life into the world
We were meant to speak up and not cower away
Men build networks and
lead “great” companies
while women dream
of a less phallocentric world
Women need to realize
that they are powerful
that they are strong
that they are WOMEN
It takes a certain type of character to be successful
and that character can either be a woman or a man
That’s why I cannot live
without my confidence
Because I am meant to empower my sisters
Help them wage this war
to strengthen the word WOMEN
Were meant to be confident
We were meant to be warriors
We were meant to be strong
We were meant to be
WOMEN.
