S.E.L.F (Self. Evaluation, Liberation, and Freedom)
I am a woman,
There is nothing to be ashamed of.
I bleed once a month, sometimes twice
I have breast, hips, thighs and booty.
I am a woman,
There is nothing to fear.
I am the accused lesser sex
I disagree.
I am not loose, nor promiscuous,
I just know what I want.
The only role in society for me is the one
I am meant to fulfill with
virtue, smarts and cleverness
not by the standards set before me
or by gender roles and stereotypes.
I can build a bench just like any man,
I can bake a cake just as good as another woman,
I can succeed with the best of them
I am just me.
