Feminist Rage

you don't know me

i am a priceless work of art

and you don't know me.

i paint with words and

i bring color to my own life

and you don't know me.

i carry beauty in my wake and

i take it everywhere i go

and you don't know me.

i walk with confidence because

i know i am the thunderstorm that keeps you up at night

and you don't know me.

i'm the rain that soaks you through,

i am every ocean blue

and you don't know me.

you don't dull my shine,

you can't throw me into the fire

because i am the flame that never burns out

and you do not know me.
