He said
Get small, stay small
stay pretty
say nothing

They said
Heels, tight dresses
matter over mind

They said
No one will believe you
say nothing
slink away

She said
Not me
not this time
get big, get loud
stay real
say something

They said
I believe you
say it again

They said
I too believe
Some might have said
I don't believe you

She did not care
She did not slink
or cower or cry
or apologize

Okay, she did cry 
a little
apologize a little too
She laughed then
although that was not in the script

All she wanted 
was to contribute
get big
stay real
say something
get loud 
do good
be a part of something bigger

They said 	are we truly one?
She said     one big family in one big world
He     they    she said 	
thank you
