You tell me I’m only a woman, yet I feel there’s more I can do

You tell me my dreams aren’t worth dreaming, yet stand as I fill up the room

You tell me I’m not worth the patience, yet watch as I conquer my fears

You tell me to keep my mouth shut, yet expect my listening ear

You show me I’m less than my peers, but watch me soar in my career

You try to break me, yet you only build me up

You push me down, yet I get up stronger
