Because we are women

We keep deep inside

The hopes and the dreams

We think we must hide.

We strive to be best

Make the top of the heap

Because we are women

The climb is so steep.

The ceiling of glass

A must to be broken

It only exists

Because we are women.

From morning to night

Multi-tasks we perform

Because we are women

It’s often ‘til morn

Because we are women

To nurture is norm

But when it’s our turn

We are left in the storm.

So wet are the tears

We shed late in the night

Because we are women

We don’t share our plight.

With anxiety high

Self esteem at a low

Because we are women

We don’t let it show.

Because we are women

There is power within

To believe in ourselves

We always will win.

United we stand

With strength and with force

Because we are women

Together on course.

The lesson we learn

Is the matter of trust

Because we are women

In each other a must.

Because we are women

We open our hearts

To the caring and love

That today we have sparked

Possibility abounds

Opportunity awaits

Because we are women

It’s all ours to take.
