You've been through so much,
Things you wanted, you couldn't touch,
For so many years success was out of reach,
You were not even allowed to make a speech.
This poem is not about gender, nor politics, nor race,
It's about creating space after space,
Tables turn, bridges burn you live and learn, It's your own sweat that you earn.
Through the journey you'll learn more about your destination,
It's not only you who will succeed but this nation,
Stand up tall, lift your shoulders and your chin high,
You're part of the constellations in the sky.
They say education is the key, but they keep changing the locks,
So teach yourself, keep writing, keep talking until you visit TED talks,
Even after that, continue to inspire,
Deep down in your soul lies a flame of fire.
Now! Rise!
