I stretched myself to reach the length of the earth Ripped and tore my hamstrings Dislocated my joints to wrap around the earth Felt so big I knew I was the beginning and end Let my tears fertilize the soils I gave birth to spring And let the moon baptize my son I looked around and asked for the world to remember me Beyond Nefertiti, I am the woman who washed her feet I too am worth being celebrated

Unseen Women
I stretched myself to reach the length of the earth Ripped and tore my hamstrings Dislocated my joints to wrap around the earth Felt so big I knew I was the beginning and end Let my tears fertilize the soils I gave birth to spring And let the moon baptize my son I looked around and asked for the world to remember me Beyond Nefertiti, I am the woman who washed her feet I too am worth being celebrated
I wrote this poem thinking about the women that history forgets because they were never acknowledged to be the forefronts. Especially concerning beauty, it’s easy to limit our definitions and understanding of worry by popular ideals and whether we meet them or not.
