AM I A WOMAN


Women.

Pin cushion, dainty, soft, silent.

Women.

Babysitter, wife, maid, silent.

Women.

Pushover, weak, emotional, silent.

Am I a woman. 

I am.

Powerful, hefty, rigid, LOUD.

I am.

Strong, an advocate, a goddess, LOUD.

I am.

Bold, brave, unshakable, LOUD.

I am.

A woman, not your shinny new toy.

I am.

A woman, capable of everything a man is.

I AM A WOMAN.
