Break free from the golden cage
Write poetry with the ink of your rage
The hefty chains of yesterday
Are the ropes to climb higher today;
Seize the day
Today is your time to say
Break the glass ceiling
That is how there will be healing.
Time is running out
Discard the prejudices and doubt
You're not just a pretty picture
To embellish that diamond frame;
Seize the day
Don't let oppression be the way
Break the glass ceiling
Speak up without fearing!
Call the artists and the rebels
Sing the anthem of unity
The word 'feminism' is not dirty
It's unfiltered, bold and about liberty.
Seize the day
Today is your time to slay
Break the glass ceiling
Equality is all that we're seeking.

ReplyDeleteThis word Carpe Diem reminds me of "dead poets society' since I first heard this word in that movie and how beautifully he explains the meaning of this word. Very well written, truly inspiring and fit to be a carpe diem!
