Watch me add to the broken shards of glass
Ceilings women have broken and continue to
Break, we need it between career chasing, child rearing, competing, yet still getting paid
Less than our other counterparts yet we are greater than even the best
Of the best, we stay humble, slaying, achieving, doing it
All between cramps and mood swings, breastfeeding and teething
'Babies' in the work place we're called and other trivialized innuendos, hmmm
Suspect, suggestive
Of queens and princesses, warriors and earthly angels
Of soft smiles and warm faces -beware
Woman, girl, she, her
Story after story should continue to be heard
To remove the isolated shock and splendor of accomplishing deeds we do
Everyday as this is simply who we are
We win, we work, we study, we dance, we act
Like we don't face unequal challenges, challenging
But we rise, wise, with grace and poised
To stand together is my dream, a united gentle force
Women...
Happy International Women's Day🌹
