The Women

We laugh and cry. We smile and have fun But even when that is all said and done In our hearts still lie the sadness and woes I guess our brains are too slow to know No amount of cheer can hold back what we feel With our souls overwhelmed we each find our way to deal Whether in anger or anxiety, in guarded fear or open minds We know that they are with us, in front and behind As birds of a feather we are drawn together Each carrying with us a pain that binds forever We have become so much more than simply friends The strength that we carry in us will always mend Our broken hearts and tradgic tales The hardships we have endured will make us prevail We are the women that we are today Because we let no limits hold us at bay. Written on the 11th of September as proof of the strength that I see everyday not just in my family and friends but in women everywhere. Not to be cliched but I truely believe that the ones I wrote this for are amazing women that I cherish very much and I hope you can feel it too :)
