I Stand

The sun is shining on my back
The rain is pouring on my head
But no matter what
I will firmly stand

 

No weather shall keep me down
No voice will tell me I am weak
For I do not stand for only myself

 

I stand for the women who cannot speak
I stand for the women who suffer
So silently, so lightly
Who tread on glass with a smile so tender

 

To those souls who feel lonely
I wish they knew that they were never alone
Because I stand here with a sign in one hand
And my heart in another

 

I will scream until my lungs give out 
I will stand until the pen is put to paper
And we are finally given our rights
Not just as women

 

But as human beings
