Our Diary
Our Diary begins
With Adam and Eve
The forbidden fruit
From the Forbidden Tree
We bare child birth
Most times with pain
Bringing life into this world
Nurturing the brain
We are mothers
Sisters
Friends
From beginning to end
We are strong
We are weak
We are quick
We are sleek
We can hold down the fort
While working a 9-5
Raising our babies
Stretching nickels and dimes
We hold our heads high
We hold our heads low
Holding it all in
Letting it all go
We can be vulnerable
Fall for foolish things
We can be head-strong
When we mean what we mean
We carry heavy burdens
We can carry light loads
We have so much pride
And most times it shows
We come from greatness
We come from despair
We can overcome
Even when things aren’t fair
Our minds are bright
Some are dim
Broken hearts
Hurting within
We can communicate effectively
Trying to get others to listen
Sometimes it works
Other times we fall victim
Women of color
Women of all races
Hold your heads high
With glorious faces
Say to yourself
“I have love for me”
Our stories are amazing
And this is Our Diary
