As a woman

As a woman I was taught to wear makeup to cover up. All of my scars because no man would, love me. As a woman I was taught not to, disrespect others. Whom have disrespect me. As a woman I wonder why a lot of women talk, badly about other women. As a woman I have come across. So much obstacles but I’ve accomplished, a lot. As a woman I was taught that. I only belong in the kitchen cooking for my husband, to be. As a woman I was taught to be polite. As a women I was taught to love myself first and foremost. As a woman I was taught.  To cry is a good coping mechanism skills. As a woman I was taught that being different is, unique. As a woman I was taught to follow through, my dreams. As a women I was taught to. Stay my ground and not to be a pushover.
