I am a woman


I am a woman.

I am yet to do extraordinary things.

Like discovering a habitable planet.

Like discovering a cure for cancer.

I am my own body, mind, and soul.

I am perceived by the illumination of my persona.

Labels will not define me.

Labels are not for an individual.

I am what I believe.

I am free to do what I aspire to do.

So dare tell me I can't.

So scrutinize me.

I am going to climb and I will not look down.

I am frightened but I am ready.

There is no easy way.

There is only a rugged process.

I am capable.

I am motivated by the world.

Living is a privilege.

Love is the purpose.

I am not weak.

I am a woman.
