The long road to liberty
Voting rights, equality
Is paved with animosity
Towards the wife
The mom
The homemaker
“She can’t get it together”
Sometimes
Not even all the time
Who has big dreams
While her daughter screams
Forced to nurture
Not in her nature
She gives
And forgives
The tiniest error
And the horror
Of not being enough
Womanhood is tough
At home
At work
In her catcalled walks
Nothing passes muster
Been this way forever
This much is clear:
We are still here
Fighting
Breathing
Life giving
For what?
Fair pay
Respect
Independence
Future Weinsteins won’t get away
We are better today
We are better this way
We are enough.
