Woman

She is made in such a manner
That she can carry the weight of the
whole world
And not break down
Yet her emotions are so tender
That at the slightest of a bruise
Her heart breaks with pain.

While we women may be tough as steel on the outside, our hearts may be breaking in the inside! Excellent piece, dear Lydia, that deserves a 7! Warmest regards, Pandita
