Leaving Barriers Behind

A woman spends her life breaking down barriers and social mores, Sometimes, it seems as if all she does is fight for equal rights and a better way of life, Although, beauty and sex appeal may have its own power, Folks still try to discount them hour by hour, The doors may get opened, but the battle rages on and on, making a soul weary and a tad forlorn, All the fights have been fought leaving behind a legacy of superior work, When a woman approaches her final days, No remorse lurks........, She can look back confidently, and feel proud of all the milestones she has put into place, defying all the odds in the crazy rat race, Her business is never unfinished, because she'll leave a life worthy of being lauded, long after her demise she will be respected and applauded, Leaving behind the barriers exploited and exposed, Even in her grave, she'll continue keeping everyone on their toes........
