The stories I hear.
The stories I hear, see, and feel.
The stories of pain and yearning to heal.
I find hope in the stories of women, and the experiences shared.
Even though in the stories women hold pain I just couldn’t bear.
Remember, this world that we live in is a place where many women were owned.
Never forget it, the echo is our biases, our pay gaps, we're still trying to break the mould.
“Hush and keep quiet”, “Don’t bother speaking up”, is right where they want us – it keeps the patriarchy in luck.
I remember the stories of history and power, and know it's not just International Women's Day, it must always be our hour.
