Well dressed animals with endangered opinions
Scan the floor and the offices
To locate their natural spot.
Women with confidence
Judge, yet support each other,
Holding invisible hands during each meeting.

The how-to-dos are fixed
In childhood and by example,
Yet fun to challenge.
Why can’t I do it?
I can always do it.
I pay rent, i drive cars and motorbikes,
I have a good salary,
I have an opinion,
My opinion is loud.
What holds me and tries to stop me
Must be behind my back.
I cannot see your face
And fight You
With all my wisdom.
Compassion and kindness,
Fairness and sympathy are my code of ethics
To slalom in life away.
Hard to please, hard to self affirm,
Hard to smile meanwhile.
So sleeping, I choose my dress
In the dark of the bedroom
As an armour for the day.
A sharp colour for subtle affirmations
And a sleek shape to slide through
Confrontation.
Your voice might be short and squeaky
And gently fall prey to louder opinions,
Yet your words are equal.
