strength

To be a woman now Is to be a woman with impressive prospects Not more than half a century ago We were trapped Ensnared by the prejudice And belief that we were for some reason less capable, inept. Weak. For this reason, we are obligated. Indebted to take advantage of the chances we are given. To pursue education To fight for our dreams, If not for ourselves, In honor of the women who came before us. The women who were able, but not permitted. Because of them, we must pursue our dreams. With vigor. With passion. And in our convictions, we must be Strong.
