I ? i’m woman.

I am woman.
I’m strength, emotional strength
I’m brave.
I strive till the end.

Menstruation. Pregnancy. Menopause.
I get through it all.
Live a life full of
Shame ?
Harassment of every sort.
I’ve never seen equality.
I know not what it is.

I’m born to be domestic help.
Have no ambitions, no life to be led.
I cannot dream, I cannot rise
I cannot speak, I cannot mind.
Because I’m woman

If I stand up for myself I’m called names
If I don’t, I’m raped by a James
I’m supposed to take it all.
Because I’m woman ?

I’m human, like you.
I can’t be tamed. I should not be tamed.

I’m just another woman. I take it all.
Yet, I give it my all. To you.
And you,
You bring me down
Why ?
Because I’m woman ?

I’m helpful
Yet I’m helpless : )
I’m thoughtful, I’m called thoughtless
Troubled and ugliest

I’m not wicked, I’m wonderful.
I’m simplicity, I’m beautiful.
I’m modern, I’m mysterious.
I’m nervous, I’m numerous.
I’m soft, not so strange.
I’m the Other.
Not to be caged.

I am determined.
I have courage.
I’m wise.
I now have what it takes.
I’m energetic, I’m enthusiastic
I do not what is man made.
I’m faithful, I’m fierce
I’m friendly.
Never again to be frightened.
Because,
I am woman
Redefined.
