To All Women Everywhere (a poem)

To all the women,
and all the girls
who one day will be,
never doubt
  your strength,
  your courage,
  your power
to change the world.
The universe is
born everyday through
  your imagination,
  your determination,
  your dreams,
  your resilience.
The weight of the world,
the ceilings of glass,
the small mindedness
cannot
  hold you down,
  silence your voice,
  steal your personhood,
  stop your influence.
You are stronger
in your broken places,
and everyone best take notice,
because
YOU
ARE
HERE!
