A Poem

To See Me

You see me as soft and curvaceous

With a full bust and rounded hips

A sweet smile on lovely lips

You see me as meek and ready to obey

That is how you perceive me

But you are greatly deceived

I know who I am…

I am a Woman

I am strong and proud

My shoulders are back

And my head is held high

I have a spine of steel

That withstands all adversities

I can weather any storm

I am strong and I am proud

I am a Woman

I am intelligent and I am beautiful

Both inside and out

I cannot be controlled or manipulated

I will not be molded to your liking

I will be myself

I hold the truth in my hands

And I will not back down

I will survive

I will not die

I am strong and I am proud

Because I am a Woman
