Dear world, I am a woman, immaterial I am life itself personified But behind this exterior, I burn like a thousand suns I rage like the devil inside I have loved ones And ones to love I have a past and a present With memories that make me My feet are strong, grounded I have a spine of dignity I do not bleat for dominance Protection or misuse I am human, skin and bones Rights to be treated equally I look forward at the future With willingness to learn I long for things I admire That I will earn on my own Without any rule-books Or terms and conditions I want to pace the horizon Chasing freedom and serenity I want to live in a world Which allows me to breathe Completely and fully Sincerely, Woman
