Women, communicate and be expressive.
Express it all: your fears, your doubts, your joys.
Be frank and true with others and with self.
Speak what you feel in a voice clear and incisive.
Women, make yourselves beautiful and radiate.
Bring out your beauty, delicate and exquisite.
Show it to all and shine bright as a marquise.
Whether at an evening affair, at work or out on a hike.
Women, show authenticity.
Be yourselves, yourselves and nothing more.
It is your sublime originality that we adore.
It ranks you at the summit of the wonders of the city.
Women, stop comparing yourselves to one another.
Each one of you is an unmatched treasure,
a fan of riches spread out with subtle measure.
Weighing yourselves against others will harm you, more or less.
Women, be our lanterns in this world.
Light us and show us the way.
Mark out the road and lead us to the world of a new day.
Lead us out of this false and foul world.
Women, to stereotypes be insensible.
Live your life, for you have only the one.
Live it to the full, today, from the Earth to the moon.
Ignore the attacks of which you are the targets.
Women, do not tolerate anyone who belittles you.
React, demonstrate and lay claim to your worth.
Do it with respect, with conviction and with heart.
May every act of disrespect toward you cease for ever.
M. Z.
