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.
