She prays, she studies, she writes.
She steps into what she is made for.
She leads others to pursue
the heart of God.
There may be some who
think she should not speak,
that she should go home,
but she doesn’t mind.
Let them talk.
She doesn’t answer to them.
She advocates, she speaks, she stands.
She steps into who she
is made to be.
She realizes her worth
and desires to educate others
about a system that still exists
to squelch her people.
There are some who
believe she is making
something out of nothing,
but she doesn’t mind.
Let them talk.
She doesn’t answer to them.
—
She teaches, she heals, she cares.
She pursues her passion
to help others who are sick.
She is wife, mom, and
a leader in her field.
There are some who
believe she should be home,
that she is in the wrong,
working outside her home,
but she doesn’t mind.
Let them talk.
She doesn’t answer to them.
—
She creates, she writes, she spits truth.
She rhymes sick lines
that seep from her heart
onto the page.
She speaks her mind and
she will not be contained.
There are some who believe
that her truth is too loud,
that she should go home,
but she doesn’t mind.
Let them talk.
She doesn’t answer to them.
—
Say what you want,
believe what you want,
truth will prevail and
your words
meant to hinder,
meant to restrain,
meant to demean
will be what we
step on as we pursue
who God made us to be.
We don’t mind.
We don’t answer to you.
We don’t mind –
but we do wish you would
consider what we could
accomplish if we
worked together.
