Beautiful Woman

I am a voice,generations later Who will shed the image sown You will not paint my picture I will not be taken down I won't play your fiction stories I am not what you percieve Do not give the world a handbook Do not tell them what to see Staring me down,seeking errors Not your barbie,not your show I'm woman in every sense of the word Human being and you will know You force our men to fear us And leave us without love And encourage women to hate us Making them feel they are not enough You tell us lies,and some believe And so they walk in irking shame You're insecure and childish And so you have created a game I'm strong and bold and fierce I scare you,I don't fold like paper So step aside and watch me be Say I'm least,I'll prove I'm greater Don't use a face to judge a heart We're made the same of flesh and blood The most obsurd of streotypes A thing that tears this world apart I do not wish to cause offense This is not a war,it is a plea I tire and sore of self defense I just want a shot at being me 5 April 2013 Wendia Rowe

Keep on thinking free I tell my self several times a day. The whole system is rigged ; But what doesn't kill us makes us strong . We must find our light with in and let it shine. Like you're writing shines. Than you Wendia .

A most powerful ending! A very necessary piece for those who feel like they don't have it in them. Fantastic job!

Hi Wendia, Passing by and caught in your beautiful words. I want to confess that your piece is nice, warming and at the same time warning. You stood up in your own special way that is uniquely yours. Nice poem there.
