What the women of today said to the young girl

Do not follow those who came before you 

Do not let your feet mimic their footsteps 

Do not stay on the beaten path 

Do not stand idly by as your inner power is stripped from you 

Darling 

You are a force of nature 

You hold the world in the palm of your hand 

You are fiercer than you can imagine 

You are braver than you believe 

They will try to take your power 

They will try to square you away in a box 

They will try to tame your potential 

They will try to make you lesser than what you are 

So wage war 

Take down the wage gap 

Take down the brutality of women

Take down the rape statistics 

Take down their misogynistic ideas 

Do not turn on your sisters 

Do not listen to their lies 

Do not tolerate hate 

Do not divide 

You are more than a pretty face 

You are more than just a wife 

You are more than hormonal

You are more than what they want you to be

Darling 

Please continue our fight for equality 

Please don't accept less than you deserve 

Please stay united 

Please don't lose yourself 

Darling 

You are an entire universe 

Filled with with galaxies and a million suns 

A life force all on your own 

Do not let them dwindle you to any less
