The Heart of a Woman

I am human.
I am important .
I am valuable .
I have feelings.
I have ideas.
I have a heart to, so don't break it or disregard it.
I want to feel wanted to.
I feel pain to, so don't hurt me.
I have dreams to, so don't dismiss it.
I have hopes to.
I feel shame to.
I have a voice to, so listen to me damn it.
I can read to, so don't treat me like I'm dumb.
I'm your partner, and not your silent partner..
I need to be appreciated to.
I am powerful to, so don't mess with me.
I am fragile to , so treat me like a precious vase on a mantel.
I deserve respect , so keep your eyes on me only.
I want to laugh to, so don't make cry.

So many men don't appreciate the women in their lives. This poem made me remember when I used to treat women unfairly.
