Woman of Africa
Woman of Africa
Woman of Africa you are more than a rock
You are more than the pillar of a nation
You are more.
You are more and enough for yourself.
You are the reason why a rock is able to stand firm in its own entity
Woman of Africa
The tears of a woman aren't moving, they are completing
They carry so much weight because they remind you of what life is all about
Woman of Africa.
You aren't just an African woman, you are the woman behind all woman
You are the woman who builds a man yet stands behind him
You are the woman who builds herself in order to build others
You are the woman who builds others even when you're breaking because you understood that building another meant restoring yourself
Woman of Africa
You are the woman who doesn't shine but is still chosen because of their sun
You are the entire manifestation of all healing properties
You are more than a feeling, words and emotions, you are a home.
Woman of Africa
You are a home for yourself.
You are a home to yourself.
You are human
Anyone who dares to kicks you, just like one would kick a rock only hurts themselves
So unmoved and unshakeable in your appearance even when there are cracks.
Woman of Africa.
Rise up, this is not your time.
This is The Time.
