She is

She use to be a women who only spoke when she was spoken too,

she felt a odd insanity carrying her shame.

She use to be a women who felt unworthy of her life,

she cried so many tears,but held them close to her heart.

She use to be a women who thought she deserved her pain,

she lied about her mishaps,only to protect him.

She use to be a women who shook when he walked in the door,

she believed in love,but only out of fear,

but the women she is now,is not who she use to be.

She is a women who stands as tall as the eye can see,

she thinks a bit of insanity is good for her soul.

She is a women who knows her worth and understands her life,

she believes that her tears are signs of a wonderful heart.

She is a women of power and beauty,

she knows the world now listens when she speak.

She is a women who shows no fear,

she greets each and everyday with a warm embrace.

She is me.

Strength, grit, and endurance.
This is stunning!
Such simple, strong words.
It doesn't matter if you've been beaten down.
What matters if you stand back up, dust yourself off and forge a new path, ever moving forward.
You've captured, quite beautifully, the test of a woman.
Beautiful!
Brava!

Truly remarkable strength of character! I liked how it went from the past to the present, the image of a young girl, and growing pains evolving into a strong and hale adult! It speaks of the saying, "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger." You have shown us that!
Great poem! I look forward to more!
