Being A Woman
I have been living all my life
Moving on
And not clinging
To the time that is
Past.
I cry when I am sad,
I cry when I am angry,
I cry when I am happy.
I emote
When I cry.
I have my own set of regrets,
Ones that I may never share
With you
Or with anyone else....
I am made up of tears
Contradictions.
Fears, smiles and pain.
I may look fragile
But I am not weak.
I may falter
But will never fall.
If I do,
I will rise again.
I can survive,
I can live on my own.
I can support,
I can lend a helping hand.
If I need help
I ask.
If I show support
I express.
I speak my mind,
Hear the songs of my heart,
See to believe,
Touch to reach out,
Smell things fishy.
I sense.
I know what I am worth,
I only need encouragement.
I know my goals,
Its opportunities
I am looking at.
Give me any role
And I will play my part well.
No extra retakes I will give
Because I will be living the part
And breathe into it.
I do not bother
About the length of my role.
My only concern
Is misinterpreting it.
I don't like misunderstandings
Nor do I like to give a cold shoulder,
Yet,
Hurt me and you get
An ice maiden in return.
Love me instead
And you have
A willing slave all your life.
I know what loneliness is,
What it takes to risk everything.
I have felt the pangs of separation.
Been dejected with rejection.
I have seen plans go haywire
And things getting out of control.
I have seen my world turn topsy-turvy
And crumble before my eyes.
I still smile,
I move ahead,
With my head held high.
I am Myself,
I am I
Because.....
I am
A Woman....
I celebrate
Being a Woman.
I celebrate
Womanhood.
Moving on
And not clinging
To the time that is
Past.

I cry when I am angry,
I cry when I am happy.
