Women's Day

Little does she know 

"A baby girl is born,
Congratulations", said the sister.
Nose, just like her father,
eyes, very similar to her mother.
Little does she know that
a dark world awaits her.
Full of stereotypes and patriarchy.

She's born as a gift beyond measure,
a wonder to hold and
a lifetime to treasure.
Little does she know that
an unknown battle awaits her.
Where the society will try 
to characterize her the way they want. 
To mold her as they grant.

"But, don't you worry my little angel",
said her mother. 
"You'll grow up to be a woman brave enough,
using your wisdom you'll
slash the orthodoxical bluff.
A numerous struggle you'll come across
but, little do you know that 
you'll conquer them all".
