She is they.
She is ze.
She is we.
She is me.
She is your neighbour,
Your sister,
Your cousin,
Your teacher.
Your aunt,
Your boss,
Your preacher.
She is the C.E.O.
in a power suit and heels.
She is the grandma
who makes the best meals.
She is the celebrity you would love to meet.
She is the
destitute living on the street.
She is the small child filled with fear.
She is the
woman you see in the mirror.
She is many
voices
Choked back by
tears
Of criticism
Of humiliation.
Silenced from
fear.
Of rejection
Of retaliation.
She is they.
She is ze.
She is them.
She is we.
She is you.
She is me.
