a woman is her own man


she walks strong showing no fear, no hesitation with every breath she takes she is closer to respect in a world of men a woman has no place no rights no freedom but a woman fights for her rights for her freedom she walks with her child in one arm and the cold heavy metal of her gun in the other her heart is racing the only thing in mind is her child her love and her country she protects her own she is the hunter and gatherer she is what makes the world spin her delicate hands hold a tight grip the recoil has no affect with every shot she grows stronger during the screams of death she does not flinch she has endured the screams of life she has the power to destroy the world she carrys the future in her heart pain, family and love has driven her the threat of death and injury do not scare her the blood she sees is nothing like the ones she sees every month her job is no different her uniform just changed from aprons to shirts and pants she has prepared for the fight of life trained since the beginning of time she like all women alike are warriors they survive the pain of life trained to heal and care during the worst of times she stays calm and collected not one tear is shed no breath is wasted for her job is never done no man has ever faced what women go through women work hard to keep the family work hard to keep the world spinning they work hard for life a woman is her own man
