This Fab poem by a Hillary supporter needs some exposure
I am a woman and proud to be one
We handle it all and get the jobs done
From morning ‘til night we’re under the gun
We make the decisions while on the run

I am a woman and I’ll be clear
Lived most of my life in total fear
Molested and battered while being called dear
And not one said sorry, not one did I hear

I am a woman with something to say
So tired of the sexism day after day
The words that I’m hearing are not okay
Wounds are sliced open just like a filet

I am a woman who’s been deeply hurt
Don’t open my wounds, don’t rub in the dirt
I don’t do baking and won’t iron a shirt
Your words are offensive, vulgar, and curt

I am a woman who demands respect
Call me sweetie and it’s anger you’ll get
Sexism promotes violence, if you abet
You deserve hard time to pay off your debt

I am a woman and I have a brain
Masters Degree in Education grain
I am not stupid, I am not insane
Your words are like daggers causing more pain

I am a woman who’s fully alive
Force me in a room and who will survive
You had better duck, you had better dive
I’m locked and loaded with my 45

I am a woman and I have a heart
It angers me that two states can’t take part
Punish the voters, that’s not very smart
Don’t count all votes, splits the party apart

I am a woman and I always vote
Carefully weighing each fact and each quote
For the one that I won’t choose, please take note
I won’t take your blame or be your scapegoat

I am a woman with no equal rights
So don’t threaten me about civil rights
I’m too old to bear children, yeah that’s right
So don’t threaten me about pro-choice rights

I am a woman and now hear me roar
I won’t be silent when I’m called a whore
To all the sexists I’ll listen no more
To the DNC I am out the door
