i am a woman

i am a woman of distinction/ we are all women of distinction/ we are thoughts, feelings, and opinions/ we are the upholders of future generations

you don’t need to fit a criteria/ your occupation does not matter/ gender roles are all a social construct/ all you need to be is a ladder

a ladder to hold up young girls/ let them know they have a place/ plant seeds of knowledge within/ water them to set the pace

we are all women of distinction/ no two of us are the same/ we rise, we fall everyday/ yet we all still bear a name

the power to live in that name/ or to change it, as you do too/ it does not matter to me/ as long as you claim it as you

i am a woman and i am distinct/ I don’t let the world wash me out/ i have not always been such an anchor/ you too can overcome the drought
