In the tender age of womanhood
I heard
I sensed
I felt the pain
The unforgivable currents of unfairness and injustice
That settled on the shore of my body and soul
In the tender age of womanhood
I cried
And keenly wished that tomorrow would be kinder to me
Behind the wall of broken dreams
A tree of energy grew each day
With that tree, I learned
I explored my mind
From the crack of dawn to the layers of moonless cloudy nights
To grow
To love
To laugh
To give
To hug
To fall
And to fly up like an eagle
As sincere as the light of dawn upon a green meadow

There are so many places in the world where women are mistreated, not respected, abused, etc. what is it about man that treats the fairer sex this way? Hugs.
It's sad, indeed, but fairness will always triumph.
Thank you for the kind words.
