Independent Women
You call us strong
independent, dynamic
powerful,
energetic
and some, less kind, might say
bold and intimidating.
But you can’t see into our souls.
We,
strong women who struggle
with massive characters,
share hearts seared with scars.
We feel deeply,
love fiercely,
protect our own with all we are,
have the courage to give until
we are empty, and
sometimes
what we really are
is afraid.
It’s then,
we just need someone to take our hand,
and tell us everything is going to be okay
