She just wants to change lives.


but I haven’t seen the fire in her eyes for a little while,

that spark when she knows she helped someone.

the men who only want to get themselves ahead are burning her out.


She just wants to change lives.


i know sometimes she feels alone, the only one who will ever care.

i know someday that fire will come back, and she will feel no more despair.


She just wants to change lives.

I wrote this poem with my mom and all women who experience inequality every day in mind.
