What’s Waking Up Inside of Me?

I feel it discreetly

Nudging parts of me

They are slowly waking up inside of me

Giving me the idea that they always existed

The

Rosa Parks

Mai bhago

Heer

Maya Angelou

Mother

Which is a miracle in itself

Cause I never knew

Woman to be as powerful as man

Starting with an inferiority complex that

Found its way into many aspects of my life

Always chipping away at my talent and skillset

Making me feel like I produced crap when it was gold

Cause you know I’m told it’s a man’s world

Then why was it created by women?

I wonder

I want these parts to awaken like a fire

That can never be put out

And will always smolder inside of me

Giving me the fuel I need to battle

This feeling of inadequacy

With full confidence I dream
