Confidence
I am woman.
I am wife.
I am God's right hand,
I create life.
Stretch marks mean I grew too fast.
Thick thighs because I run from my past.
I'm a preacher
Of things I don't understand
A teacher
A holder of your hand.
I'm a glimpse of what you could be
If you lost a little of your worldly sanity.
I am woman.
Hard earned.
Fire burned.
Straight from the ashes of opression--
Woman.
