Now I know
What it’s like to have first world problems
While living in a third world…world
Now I know
It wasn’t my imagination
All these years
When I sensed
Something had changed
Now I know
What happens
When twenty first century solutions
Meet twentieth century mindsets
Now I know
That I can only be a woman
But I am more than a woman
I will always be a daughter
But I am not only a daughter
I can be more than a mom
But I am first and foremost a mom
And as a woman
In my culture
No matter how far I go
I will always be a woman
Now I know
That my struggles have paid off
Even if they had to take
Multiples of the effort
That others had to do
To achieve the same thing
Now I know
That there’s a world out there
That there’s a place for me
Somewhere some day
Even if that day
Just won’t be today
There’s a light somewhere
Even if it’s not right here
Right now
Now I know
That I know who I am
