Ones Strength

Ones Strength

 

You think she’s just going to sit

With her legs crossed

Her chin in her hands

Waiting for you to finally

Come around?

 

You think she’s going to stay

Eyes glued to the floor

Mouth sealed

While there are others

Walking by?

 

If she were to wait around

For you to finally show

Her pretty dark hair

Would slowly turn white

And her young, soft skin

Would turn old and frail

 

She doesn’t need you

To be happy

To be satisfied

To survive

She’s been surviving

Way before you came around

 

It’s not like you made things easier

You complicated what was once simple

You had her question her values

Her morals

 

She doesn’t need you

She doesn’t need him

She doesn’t need anyone

 

They say there is strength in numbers

Yet most seem to forget

How strong

The first number actually is

How the other numbers

Just follow the first

 

She’s just as strong

As any numbers

In fact

She’s just as strong

As one

Power to women, how very proud I am to be one :)

A truly excellent piece. It is full of truth and as it describes, strength. Women are very strong, to have dealt for thousands of years with the bullshit meant have put them through. Sad to think that it continues to this day and will not stop even tomorrow. Though the individual may be strong, the collective, the whole has grown weak and diseased. Humanity is plagued by prejudice and there are so many that are Raised to just ignore it and act like it's acceptable, like it belongs.

How far we have fallen...

Still, I like this piece. You wrote it well. I'm going to have to show this to my girlfriend.

I have three daughters and six sisters. I taught them to be strong and never back down. I like the desire of this poem. Woman do bond with more ease then men. Woman have common ground. I like the complete poem. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

Cute idea.

[Sagar Waingankar]

Beautiful illustration of what it actually feels to be strong. Being strong or to easily give away is upto us what we decide. Other things just follow the way they are told to. It's planned no one to blame :-)

inner strength to the power of one...great write...

[John Stussy]

No sense in waiting what won't come, and isn't worth waiting for anyways, when there's opportunity everywhere. Add in the fact that even alone you remain strong, and everything's going your way. One holds power. One holds confidence. One is unity incarnate. Excellent work!

Makes me think of the phrase: 'looking out for number one'.
I certainly always look out for myself. At the end of the day, we're all living our own lives - we don't have eternity to wait for people or try to please them. :)
Keep up the great work!!
