The Woman Who Went Too Far

The Woman Who Went Too Far There was once upon a time a woman who went too far. She was stopped and fell down. She was not the Humpty Dumpty type. Slooooooooooowly she gathered her pieces and made her back straight again. Despite million tons of weight pulling her down, finally she managed to get up. She stood up and shook her hair. She walked here, she walked there, Until she went so far again. So far is too far! Said the men who loved her. So far is too far! Said the men who did not want her. So far is too far! Said the women who could not understand her. Let’s go too far! Said the women who were not afraid.

I wrote this poem years ago when I was going through a particularly bad period, and felt very misunderstood by many people, who were trying to cut off my wings. I think millions of children of both genders, and many women, and some men too, may have similar experiences. I would be interested to know if you had any similar experiences and also, what do you think about the poem itself. Thank you
