Woman

I am not half
I am more
I am the women
who came before
I am Enheduanna
the first to sign her name
before her
no man had done the same
I am Christine de Pizan
her stories tell of women
who built the world 
and challenge men
I am not fear
I am steadfast
as these women
my words will last
Strength from before me
give to the future after
I will fight today
so my daughter will know laughter
