I looked into my own reflection
Questioning myself
Why was I born as a woman?
Your voices once oppressed
Are now heard by many

The pain and tears travel to my heart
All the way from the past
As your emotions are still raw
Because they can never rot with time

You were once helpless
They kept your mouths shut
But your will power did not die
Your eyes tell written stories

Your strength is impressive
Even during your last moments
You never gave up
You lit up the fires in our hearts
