Worth it


I am feminine and worthy

I wonder if I will fall short

I hear voices of disapproval 
 



I see the peak of success in the distance

I want to be valued 
 



I am feminine and worthy

I pretend to be quiet and composed



I feel the strength of female empowerment



I feel the presence and touch of my kind

I worry about equality



I cry because of sexism



I am feminine and worthy

I understand the power struggle


I say it is time to change the tide



I dream of opportunity 



I reach for triumphs
 



I hope for amendment

I am a worthy woman
