How can you try to shame me
For the slope of my breast
and the width of my hips
for the way my skin
curves and dips
For within me are the voices
of the phenomenal women
who stood before me
exclaiming to the army of men,
who labelled them inferior,
that we are their equal
There is no shame in being a woman.
For within women lies the future;
The birth of the revolution of equality
tell me how you can shame
the woman who has birthed you
the woman who has raised you
how do you label us lesser
when we are the ones who
carry the future
Tell me why does
the curve of my breast
allow you to name me inferior
why does my soft skin
allow you to bruise it
with your harsh words
of incapability
I am a woman
And in this,
there is no shame.
I am a woman
And I am proud
