feminae vincunt (poem.)

Breaking free from a cage,

constructed of inferiority and alleged incompetence.

Smiling from the depths of the backstage,

As I break into the lead role,

Gaining confidence from those

who broke all of their promises.

Never allowing them to drag me down,

Remembering I've got a solid,

even if it is crooked, backbone.

Wielding power over my life,

creates a full time job,

a never ending commitment to

be strong.
