A Woman

In celebration of the Women's Month.

I am beautiful, strong, and smart

but they all took me for granted

for I am just a woman

weak, wounded, with lips of red

 

They smashed and loved me

though my body is all they like

I was locked in a shell for years

so dark, just my tears shine

 

I've been used, torn, and burned

but I picked up all my pieces

I rose with all my flaws

stronger, as I wiped my lips of red

 

I am stronger! I am a fighter!

I live with the heart of a warrior

no pain can control my soul

and I never again will fall

 

I am a woman, one with words

of respect and of dignity

I will live with my own commands

just like the men in this world

That's a very powerful poem. Your poem shows how strong female are, and how brave they can be. Amazing:)
