THE woman.

THE woman.

A Poem by Lonnie

She isn't who you dreamed her to be,
is she?
She is a woman who takes many forms
by all things 
meant to build and break her.
She is the woman you take for granted,
so you leave,
and then find yourself coming back
for more of what you never appreciated.
You realize
she has taken on a new shape, from all the
broken pieces you left
her to clean up on her own.
she carries her baggage 
and unpacks it herself.
She walks with her truths
and does it effortlessly, 
gracefully.
She exhales hope and inspiration 
into others before inhaling it
for herself first.
She's the woman at 3 AM,
comforting herself of all the hurt
that's never healed.
She is the woman who rises the next morning,
speaking into existence,
that its a new day that she will conquer,
even if she barely makes it through.
She is everything
honest and raw.
She is the woman who tells you what it is
and what it wont be,
because she respects herself.
She fights hard to love everything about herself.
She is the woman capable of loving in a way 
we all want to find in someone,
but don't and can't, because
you aren't truly worthy of a woman like her.
She's the woman who struggles,
and protects herself.
She is the woman who is always 
evolving,
 growing.
She is the woman
she fought hard to become,
and has so much potential 
to be more that what she is.
The woman 
who has many scars that she hides well
but many only see her surface, not what lies beneath.
She's the woman you need,
the woman you want,
and the woman you were too late to appreciate having.
She is THE woman.
her OWN woman.
The woman you will always need
but she doesn't need you.
The woman who chooses herself
while you choose her too.
