woman

a poem i wrote in 2017

Woman....

Is it my biological clock you're concerned about? 
My quest for life long learning?
Does my age puzzle you?
Tell me, is it my celibacy that I hold true?
Or my silence on trivial matters too?
Tell me, what is it that I lack;
As if that will scare me!
Until then
This is all the woman I need to be, 
All the woman I choose to be
& I will not be treated any less.
