You see so much

When you are part of the scenery

The dramas and the foibles

Quiet triumphs and tearful failures

But the day you dare

To have a voice

To step into the scene

Is the day your courage must stick

For the world

Will push you back

Fight to keep you

Silent and unknown

Because a woman

With a mind and a voice

Is a force for change

A disruptor

To the status quo – Caroline A. Slee
