I'll Show You
I'll show you the strength of the mightiest of beings
I present you the life that feels every feeling
squashed and devalued then and forever
yet striving for greatness through all stormy weather
hands that heal and souls of splendor
defy the expectations of any one gender
bargained for, paid for, and all other scorn
beauty that's ripped at, tattered and torn
but glowing with strength surpassing the years
fighting the hardship, loneliness, and tears
our strength like our love shines for all to see
shouting out to the world what we always will be
lawyers, doctors, nurses,
teachers, authors, speakers,
firefighters, police, judges,
athletes, singers, dancers,
visionaries, mentors, idols,
mothers
sisters
lovers
women
