Chanel No. 5
We think that the rain smells gorgeous
And that the man over there shouldn't be smoking in front of his child.
We love passionately
We sing out of tune
We wear perfume (sometimes)
And wish we could put peanut-butter on everything.
We think the world could be a better place,
If we let it
And that we could do great things,
If we let ourselves
But there are bills to pay and laundry to do
And there's always one more thing in the corner of our minds
We are fragile
We are faking it
We will bite back if we have to
Because
We are the waitress you forgot to tip
The C.E.O. in shoes that hurt
The girl who broke your heart
The girl next door
The girl who you made cry
We are your astronauts
Your activists
Your librarians
Your mothers
Your daughters
Your prostitutes
Your teachers.
We are the women of the world
And we dream.
