We, are told to speak up.
To stand up for ourselves but when we do, we get judged. We, are told to love ourselves.
But when we do, they say we're narcissistic or cocky.
We, are told to dream big.
But when we do, they say, "it'll be impossible for you to do."
They belittle our dreams and bring us down.
We, are told that beauty isn't defined by looks.
But we're constantly being judged because of the color of our skins, hairstyles, make-up and the list goes on.
We, are told about how important Empowerment is,
But not everyone gets empowered, only a selected few.

I, think it's time for a change.
Time for a better world.
