What happened to chivalry, integrity, and respect? What about common curtesy, empathy, and sympathy? What happened with trust? It seems as if none of these exist in todays world. I want world peace. But it takes more than a single person to start the end of war; an end to threats. We must stand together to end this world wide discrimination. Martin Luther King Jr ended Racial Injustice; Abraham Lincoln set slaves free; George Washington brought freedom to the U.S., He formed this country with John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, and Benjamin Franklin. Rosa Parks stood up to end the Racial Inequalities. And I say, that if they can do it, we can do it. We are the generation to make a change. So lets change it.

Can you see the fire within her eyes? Can you see it hollowing her innocent soul? She call out towards her father saying, “We will watch the flames grow high within my soul. We will watch it grow tall for the last time. Because this is the desolation of the final time. And I can not take this much longer, for the pain decides to linger within my dreaded soul.”

dear feet, I am sorry for dragging you around all this years
I am sorry that you never got the chance to feel the up and down motion known as a happy walk
dear legs, I am sorry for hurting you
I am sorry for leaving scars on your beautiful skin, I am sorry that I look at your marks of growth with disdain
dear hips, I am sorry for always squeezing you
I am sorry that when my pants are too small I still force you in
dear stomach, I am sorry for hating you
I am sorry for pinching and hiding you away
dear lungs, I am sorry for making your job harder
I am sorry to trying to poison you by standing too close to my uncle and his cigarettes
dear fingers, I am sorry for always scrubbing you too hard
I am sorry that I twist you all around when I am scare
dear hands, I am sorry for making you hurt me
I am sorry for making you scar my arms and legs
dear arms, I am sorry for pinching the skin on you
I am sorry for being disappointed in the fact that my bone isn't replacing the skin
dear shoulders, I am sorry for keeping a weight on you
I am sorry that you have never relaxed
dear face, I am sorry for covering you up
I am sorry for not loving the freckles that make me, me
dear lips, I am sorry for making you bleed
I am sorry that I bite you until you bleed
dear hair, I am sorry for chopping you off every time you begin to grow
I am sorry that you can't be long because I am scared of new things
dear body, I am sorry
I am sorry I don't love you but I am trying
I am trying to love you

I was born female
I am told that this puts me at a disadvantage
I am told that I will make
On average
20% less than a male
I am told that by the time
I am 18
Between me and 3 of my closest girlfriends
At least one of us will have been
sexually assaulted, abused, or *****
And all of us
Will have been sexually harassed
I am told this is a mans world

But I am Woman, hear me roar
And this is my world

I am not my unequal paycheck
I am not an unfair disadvantage
I am not the bruise you left
on my right cheek
I am not a victim

I am Mother of All Things
I am Healer
I am Lover
I am the Moon, and I am Peace

I am Woman, hear me roar
And I am fierce

Do not mistake
My sweetness for weakness
For as the moon
I can shift tides
And move mountains

I am Woman, hear me roar
And this is my world
