Recently I have found myself talking to women about what it means to be a woman. I believe the answer is different for every woman. However, I also believe we share similar traits and common core elements. This poem came to me last night at a concert as I watched the women around me react differently, than each other but more importantly they reacted differently than the men. I don't believe this poem is perfect or for all women but like everything I post in this blog it is for me. And if you enjoy it, well that's awesome. 💖B
The world speaks to me differently fhan you.
People react to me in different ways.
When I touch something it does not feel the same to me as you.
Remember I am a woman and my emotions run deep.
So deep sometimes I don't understand them.
They swirl and change and are powerful. They should be respected not shunned.
Remember I am woman and I love to watch things grow.
Children, flowers, men.
I see the potential in all and I will feed that potential even if it kills me.
Remember I am a woman and I break.
And when I break it hurts differently.
It breaks me to the core and my pieces shatter across the earth.
Remember I am woman and my spirit soars.
When the wind touches my hair my soul flies with it.
Freedom breathes life into me.
Remember I am woman and I am strong. I can suffer a universe of pain to give life.
I can carry you when you cannot stand.
I can start a fire that could take over the world.
I can heal with a kiss.
I can cure with a word
I can forgive unspeakable wrongs.
Remember I am woman and my love is power.
I can love into the darkest fathoms.
I can love the unlovable.
My love can heal the world.
My love can change your life.
My love can change the world.
