This belief of our society
of putting women down
by assuming they're not sturdy enough
to take care
of themselves
on their own
makes me want to show them all
by lighting a fire so fiery
from within my bones
that it burns them alive
and I just stand there and witness
while they finally come to their senses
that
women are to be held up high
not held down
just like everyone else
who deserves a crown
