You are strong Strong enough to weather the most violent of storms Strong enough to stand Stand when you feel like falling You have fought battles And you have won You are a soldier You are Smart Smart enough to have an opinion Smart enough to speak your mind Even though others will call you stupid Even though they will laugh They will criticize You will not hide You are a scholar You are beautiful Beautiful enough to start wars Beautiful enough to be loved You are art Your skin Your voice Everything about you should be envied And though people will look upon you Look upon you to sneer To pollute the air around you with ****** words You will walk with your head high You are a Goddess among men
