Hidden Figures Part 1: Competent, Courageous and Capable

Hidden Figures are us women living In a male dominated society Fighting for a chance To change our circumstance With respect and dignity Recipients of our own destinies We need to understand That as hidden figures daughters of the Lord God We are equal to any man Yet we are the least likely To be the protagonist in any story But as women we are more than capable Of having a testimony We need to change the narrative That men have embraced That women are just accessories Who sit pretty in pearls and lace To them we're just hidden figures Yet our aura is just as potential For we are the womb of life Our presence is most essential We are competent, courageous and confident And we'll take every opportunity Just to show mere men We have full capability Hidden figures who must arise To every occasion To show that we deserve Every commendation No longer to be silent No longer overlooked nor obscure Breaking thru glass ceilings Leaders in industries hidden figures no more We now demonstrate our abilities With our God given capabilities Ready to take on any task And do it just as well if not Better than any man Competent, courageous and capable No longer hidden We now boldly stand
