Chain reaction

There is someone I do not recognise across from me

She stands hesitatingly in front of the mirror

Doubting how she looks and critiquing every “imperfection”

Almost as if it could not be any clearer

 

She does not see her worth in this world

Someone that can move mountains and demand action

Someone who should know the impact that they can have

For she will never accept anything less than satisfaction

 

For people like her must stand together

To demand to be seen and accepted for who they are could gain a lot of traction

Nothing is more powerful than women coming together

And just maybe we can start a whole chain reaction
