Women

Who am I? My voice is heard. My fists stand high for my country. I was once shot down for bearing a child and having bosoms that can feed. I was thought as of object or a symbol of sex. Being walked all over because my words did not matter? I think not. The 19th amendment has saved my voice. I no longer stand silent in a crowded room. I am black, I am white. I am short, I am tall. I am fat, I am skinny. But most of all I am heard. For once I am heard. I am heard not for what I wear or whether my body is not the same as mans. I am heard for myself. I am listened to because I speak the words that were dare not acknowledge before. I stand tall and proud for everyone that walked before me. I am a women.
