An Everyday Sort of Thing


She runs with the world
with the benefit of the doubt by her side

Challenges herself everyday,
to conquer insecurities, to fight others' rulings

She rolls her eyes at sexist jokes
while her heavy heart sighs once more

Determined to remain understanding,
Her opinions waltz into thin air
She’s one of those feminists right? Too modern, too liberal?

Bequeathed values, norms, and traditions surround her,
glaring at her newfound beliefs

Nonetheless, her opinions will still matter
She will calmly persist in changing the ever-so-perfect
ways of the world 
Why? Because she can.
