Women Empowerment

As a girl my dad was always my pillar Making me always take centre stage Telling me that just like a caterpillar I'm young today but like a butterfly ?? I'll come of age That once I grow up I need to own my glow To always put my head up as I walk That's why on the runway I flow Like the words in this poem that also talk He always told me that I don't need validation That what I need is to believe in me That for people to want to listen I need a vision But all that can only start with me For I know who the woman I want to be And that everyone can only just watch Just like how they watch when a bee Does a dance round a flower across the porch He told me not to be afraid to go forward And speak my truth everytime He told me that it might feel awkward But they'll come a time people would make time They'll make time to come and listen to me And heed what I have to say Cause all it takes is me To go forth and make a way A way so that all who will come after me Find a society of women empowered Women who just like me Went through strife because they dared They dared to take a chance to bring change So that every girl gets to go to school So that their can be actual change For women to be great and not a tool And one day as mother I will always tell my girl Don't stop glowing cause the world says so Go get your shine on girl For you different and you know so The PO£T
