Poem Title:
Poem
I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined. I am powerful and fierce. I am the pure golden baby and the lioness that hunts. I am a girl with ashy blonde hair and blue eyes, the perfect woman as many would say, but I desire to be more. I know I am more than a prize; I am a gift only given to those who ache for me. I am intelligent and beautiful, but not the way that you would see me. I am deep and residual. I echo in the streets. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined. Look into me, not just at me. See the pain I have been through and appreciate things about me I never knew. Look at the things I strive to be: the strong woman, the fearless woman, the earth-shattering woman. I am only as good as I think myself to be. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined. I will wear whatever I please and expect the same service and respect as any, whether I’m asking for it or not. Look at me, my hands are softer than yours but have been through just as much. I am a human being, I live and breathe the same as you. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined. I am the student sitting next to you, earning my place. I am the mother in the next booth over with two crying children in her lap. I am your equal, and I am not to be confused with anything less. My strength comes in the way I comfort and my unpredictability. Yes, I am a woman, but I am not weak and fragile. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined, but I am not hard and cold. I ache for a sense of belonging, for something to grind against the softer parts of my heart. I am intense, but I am not ruthless. And I am more often than not moody and unstable but love me, despite it. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined, because so often it is. I am smart, sexy and worth it. I am a woman and I am tired, tired of explaining and justifying myself. I am a woman and I am exhilarating. I am a woman and I will not have my femininity undermined.
