As a girl; I was silenced.
As a girl; I was ignored.
As a girl; I was shamed.
As a girl; I was mistreated.
As a girl; I was in deep pain.
As a girl; I was chosen last.
As a woman; I know my power.
As a woman; I know my soul.
As a woman; I know my heart.
As a woman; I rise above.
As a woman; I use my voice.
As a woman; I embrace my truth.
As a woman; I stand tall.
As a woman; I smile.
As a woman; I surrender.
In honour of International Women’s Day
