to raise a daughter

she never taught me how
not to give myself away
she couldn't have even if she wanted
that was a skill she did not possess
I can see that now

I will teach them not to fall for
the first man who sees them
to keep their power
and in quite moments ensure it's growth

they are wonderful
they are powerful

we are wonderful
we are powerful

I am wonderful
I am powerful

we won't give it away
you can't take it
