For centuries we didn’t have a voice,
We didn’t have a choice.
For years we silenced ourselves with this so called idea of a “Lady”
Quiet.
Polite.
Obedient.
But today we can rejoice,
For we do have the choice.
We are no longer this so called “Lady”
We are Women.
We are Strong.
Independent,
Intellectual beings.
Pressing for Progress!
Happy International Women’s Day!
