A note for my sisters
Sisters.
When they try to corner you
You expand and fill the entire room.
When they try to pay you less
remind them
you are worth double.
When they touch you unexpectedly
drive their filthy hands into the
dirt from which they were born
And when they tell you
You are beautiful
Say, “I was even before you noticed.”

Thank you friends. This little project is my first time sharing poems and your kind words are so helpful.
What an anthem!
