You were curious--
I opened doors so you could see.
You were scared--
I fought so much to rid your fears.
You were upset--
I gave my best to make you smile.

You changed your mind--
I lied, I bore the pain, I said it was okay.

I was patient,
I was kind,
I was humble,
So what did I do wrong?

There is so much beauty in being a woman.

Our femininity brings with it a great deal of intuition,
sensibility, & understanding ,
all which the opposite *** could probably never attain.

We are gifted with an extra load of kindness,
compassion & warmth.

We have a strength so powerful to overcome pain & grow from it.

Forgiveness, endless love & the ability to heal oneself & others with it.

Because you're a woman,

that alone makes you infinite

beautiful.

So embrace it.

**Let your own love & light guide you.
As soon as I open my eyes in the morning,
I immediately worry about what others think.
They expect beauty.
They expect intelligence,
They expect success.

I will look at myself for hours at a time.
Just to figure out which ****** expression,
Which angle,
Which tilt of my head,
Is good enough.
I layer on makeup to be what society thinks Is flawless,
I will wear the clothes society excepts
I will do what society defines as "proper"
When will I be good enough
