We are walking together
side by side.
to take back everything We have been denied.
every step We take We are
changing the world.
you can't keep seeing Us as stupid girls.
We're stronger than We look and not
backing down. on every street and sidewalk you can hear the sound
of voices so loud they ring
in your ears. long gone are the days of holding back tears.
We want you to walk with Us,
the whole world is watching Us.
We are Women. We are rising. We are here.
This is an extremely important piece to me. I wrote this poem a week after attending the very first Women's March back in 2017. That experience was the first time I truly saw how a few voices can impact the world. The march started off as just an idea in the minds of a few strong women. Then it expanded and changed into what is now the largest single-day protest in our nation's history. I saw how change is within our grasp and every voice matters.
