Breaking the Glass Ceiling

In boardrooms high and corners dark,
Where shadows loom and ceilings arc,
A silent war, a battle keen,
To break the glass and be seen.

For years we’ve toiled, our dreams suppressed,
In silence, we have done our best,
Yet barriers stand, so firm, so cold,
A cage unseen, a story old.

But now we rise, with voices clear,
In unity, we shed the fear,
No longer bound by chains of doubt,
Our strength combined, a mighty shout.

In every field, in every place,
We claim our right, we hold our space,
With wisdom deep and courage bright,
We shatter glass, we claim the light.

From factories’ hum to office halls,
In science labs, on courtroom walls,
Our footprints leave a trail of fire,
A testament to our desire.

For equity, for rightful share,
For recognition, standing fair,
We lift each other, hand in hand,
Together strong, we take a stand.

The glass above begins to crack,
With every push, no turning back,
A thousand voices rise as one,
A testament to what’s begun.

We honor those who came before,
Who knocked and chipped at every door,
Their legacies, a guiding flame,
That fuels our quest, that names our aim.

From whispers soft to roars of change,
We rearrange the old, the strange,
In hearts and minds, the truth reveals,
A world where glass no longer seals.

Our daughters watch with hopeful eyes,
As glass falls down from reaching skies,
They see our fight, they feel our zeal,
In breaking glass, our dreams are real.

For every woman, young and old,
In every story, brave and bold,
The glass ceiling’s time has passed,
The future’s ours, at long last.

So here we stand, the glass below,
With heads held high, our power shows,
In unity, we’ve made it clear,
The ceiling’s gone, we persevere.

With open skies and paths ahead,
We forge a future, brightly spread,
Where no more glass impedes our way,
We’ve broken through, we’ve seized the day.
