As A Woman

As a woman, I was born with the word ‘sorry’ spilling out of my mouth;

Sorry for not being everyone’s definition of perfect,

Sorry that no man finds me suitably f**k-able.

As a woman, I was made to be seen but not heard

I was told that men have every right to stare at me as if I am a deer and they are the hunter

But God forbid me if I call them out on their actions.

As a woman, I was taught that I am a weak and feeble creature;

An emotional wreck that will never have the power to rule like men do.

 

But as a human-being, I refuse to be used as a puppet;

I am not going to apologize for living my life the way I choose to

And my body is there for storing vital organs; and all the men that have ever looked at me like I'm a fresh piece of meat aren’t one of them.

As a human being, my empire is growing by the second.

This is strength building...it isn't easy feeling so but by God, when the determination arrives...well...this speaks for it :) Wonderful x

Definitely deep is this poem today. Woman are the anchors of this planet, for without them we would have nothing. Your strength pours from this page today and I enjoyed every word of it. Very nicely done.
