You Can Have It All

Every woman can

the family

the home

the education

the career

all you have to do

is everything

you can have it all

but the bar will be set

higher than for any man

and as you labor

you will receive your feedback

and learn that you

will never be enough

do it all, have it all

and face endless criticism

do nothing, have nothing

wind up the same

better to cast it away

redefine life

find a willful deafness

to shut out the noise – Caroline A. Slee
