The world is full of
Inequality
No matter where you look
No matter what they say
The world is full of
Inequality
It’s said that fire can destroy anything
if it burns hot enough
if it burns long enough
even if that anything is as tenacious as steel
because steel melts
and it can be bent to my will
I am fire
I will burn
I can bend the world to my will
The world that’s full of Inequality
Because I am a woman
Because I am resilient
And no one will tell me otherwise.

The world is full of
Inequality
No matter where you look
No matter what they say
The world is full of
Inequality
It’s said that fire can destroy anything
if it burns hot enough
if it burns long enough
even if that anything is as tenacious as steel
because steel melts
and it can be bent to my will
I am fire
I will burn
I can bend the world to my will
The world that’s full of Inequality
Because I am a woman
Because I am resilient
And no one will tell me otherwise.
