Her Voice

this still, a world of submissive? 
a mans' world with a woman's' 
decision... 

politically and socially charged... 
a mans' game...a woman's' remorse... 

...her choice...her love of course...

She observed the many failures, 
unwilling to test the straight course, 

she was destined, to be bent... 
her points of view she has lent... 

her discovery was self evident... 
to pause, to feel, indifferent... 

to explore this passage of her time, 
without sorrow nor clandestine... 

for she witnessed but few fears... 
this made her stronger...emotionally 
aware... 

her walls replaced with assertive 
demeanor... 

her boundaries, decisive concise 
retreat with whisper, her doubt of you 
will not conceal her... 

her strength, mustered in a moment 
...in a breathe... 

her voice chants, with her spirit 
this moment in time spent. 

for many more still agree... 
the convergent rebellious 
testimony... 

for her voice reveals the seed... 
the seed of choice... 

for all love, is discovered, 
for some uncovered, 

in her voice, this one message 
will remain... 

endure, or regret your choice 
your blame...
