Merely Female

Hushed by the stares The moves, the everything For in your eyes Feeble and frail Are synonyms Of female This silence is everywhere In relationships, busy streets Corporate realms and cowering in the dark If only they knew the epicness Deep within her heart Humility preserved always Glides clandestinely thru the noise Lest they glance her shadow And mistake it for her voice Anxiety bubbles, bemoaning, bottled A certain subtle potential overwhelming kapow! But hushed by the stares The daily humans who say no Are her heart and mind worth naught? In this bullying world Too busy shouting and staring To even recognize her Much more listen to her thoughts? Must she continue pacing this life? God forbid she should rise Be hushed and muted Unsung to this realm Fragile and frail Lest we forget She is merely female.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

As a man, I must say that the woman should rise like the rest of us continue to each day. This was real. This cut deep. Tremendous lines.
