The Awakening

Yes All Women, Hashtag Me Too,

Time’s Up, It’s time to smash taboo

How interesting in this time would

It be to grow to womanhood

Learning, yes, but also fear

What terrifying tales to hear

Of what will happen as you grow

Maybe it’s better not to know

Or hear in talks from only mother

Instead of posts from unknown others

But looking from another way

When you meet the world one day

The stigma’s gone and you are free

To share your story openly

Find comfort that you’re not alone

And this just means that you are grown
