I Am Amanda

I am Amanda. I am Loveable. I'm your mother. I'm your daughter. I'm your sister, your aunty, your niece. Your wife. I am your best friend. I would love to give you my women-heart so you man, can understand how deeply I love you. For, I've come to understand a women's love is different. It brings me to my knees in pain For you! My father. My son. My brother, my uncle, my nephew. My husband. My best friend... Why do you? hurt me slander me rape me humiliate me degrade me Why, oh why, do I - still - love you? My eyes betray... my heart, It brings me to my knees brings me to my knees brings me to my knees till I hug this earth with all I am I am Amanda I am loveable
