The Goddess Within
When the teacher asks you to leave because you are showing too much skin
Remember, you're a Goddess
When you are barely making ends meet because he got the promotion, and not you
Remember, you're a Goddess
When you married at 6 years old to a 30 year old man,
Remember, you're a Goddess.
When you were torn from your clothes and dehumanized by someone who only thinks of you as 1 thing
Remember, you're a Goddess
When you grow, creating life, but you're way too young, and everyone forgets that it takes 2,
Remember, you're a Goddess
When you are called names just for voicing your opinion,
Remember, you're a Goddess
And no one can take that away from you.
