woman!

damned if you do,

damned if you don't,

you still shine

you're still wanted in spaces that do not need you,

you're still needed in spaces that won't admit your presence

brings the balance we all need.

high-powered CEO,

infallible mothers,

supporting sisters,

the best of friends and the closest of cousins,

hold each other's hands when nobody tells you to

fight for those rights you deserve

whether it's the right to stay and make a home

or go out and get that bag...

you're a woman,

human,

valid.
