"I Am a Woman, Not Just a Woman"

We were known for being feminine,

but femininity is not being too sensitive.

It's a serious talk about facts, that all of us should think positive.

We always get belittled, so woman should fight and be active!




We have weaknesses, but can be turned as our strengths to survive

There are many things that we can do, even carrying a life

So what are you going to do?

love the person for being the reason why you're alive




We aren't recognized before a woman who's strong and independent

Slave, naive, a coward and a trash, that is how women being treated

Men are powerful.

They are physically strong and being recognized as brave, intelligent

and can do anything they wanted




But now we are equal, say yes, to women empowerment!

Women had sacrificed many things even their wants and needs

But being silenced for having no right to speak

Is this how our society should be?

No equality? Pride and a man should lead?




We are essential, a woman should be loved and protected

Not being raped, abused and molested.

Women's capabilities has enhanced society's development

Here comes revolution of women empowerment




I am a WOMAN, not JUST A WOMAN

Let us also be heard through HERstory

Let's be fair and do not only rely on HIStory

Because God created this world with man and a woman

Not poetry's place to determine what is or isn't. That's a misuse of the genre'. Poetry IS "the emotional content of literature." An exploration of our reaction to what is or isn't. The verb "to be" is, are, was, were shouldn't be utilized in poetry as it defeats poetry's purpose:
