The Audacity Of Womankind

You might not wish to share
Your deepest thoughts;
It may seem like an audacious intrusion
And 
An unwanted attack
On your privacy, your secrecy,
Your softly uttered opinions. 
Or you may be like me-
Who adores the stage,
The spotlight, and the applause.
Who has learnt to be loud,
To yell, to roar and to sing
With abandon and gaiety and courage-
Because that is the only way
The world hears women. 
I have learnt 
To turn up the volume.
