Battles to Prosper
by Marie Placido
Sexism triggering.
Changed life from negative
To an unbreakable lifestyle.
Everlasting battles to be equals.
Going unnoticed for hard work.
Being strong encouraging, supportive.
Presidents to provide clear passageways
For future warriors.
Spitting images of leaders.
Powerful, challenged, outstanding, put down.
Protests, petitions, people
Waiting, watching wondering
When our time will come.
