I Am a Woman

In the mountain of inequality and fear
A lone warrior standing still
An embodiment of light and glare
Suffered the atrocious treatment that broke the hill.

She was a mighty one who fights for equal right
But then mocked, belittled, and deprived
A being who raised the king of might
Abandoned and treated as a hive.

She has agonized the injustice and discrimination
Muffled by the bandwagon of distrust and inequity
Labelled as a frail and shattered foundation
Lamenting for this endless inequality.

But then she screamed and stood up amidst the crowd,
"I am a victor who wants to relieve this enmity
The triumph I want to bellow
Is to free us from this chain of slavery.

I am a soldier who protects life
A mother who bears a child
A teacher who builds a brighter future
And a doctor who saves a life. 


I am an entity that possesses countless possibilities
I am a warrior who stood for equality
I am a lone survivor of this enmity
And proudly walks as a leader of my destiny. 

I am a woman who battled this ruthless society
Who never kneels and concedes defeat
I fight and stood relentlessly
Empowering ones hope for my tomorrow's feat.

I am a woman who withered in misery
Chariot of misfortune comes and triggered me
But I did not omit and leave this rusty chain
For I'm a woman who gets stronger when in pain.

The road to empowerment and success goes back to one's own roots. This woman exemplifies excellence, compassion, humility, and empowerment. With all her numerous success and reputable achievements, she never loses sight of her humble beginnings. Born in Barangay Geratag in San Jose, Northern Samar, Krizzia Ann Loyang Tanabe was left in the care of her grandparents while her mother worked overseas.
