I am human before I am woman
I was not brought into existence with the sole purpose to give life
I will not fall prey to the social cube that men have made for women
I refuse to be merely an incubator to a rotten society
I am human before I am woman
I am the ocean on windy days because some days I can't be tamed
I am the sky on continuous hot summer days because everyday fire burns inside me
I am the full moon because every now and then I am solitude
And that is human
I have wrapped my desires into dreams and visions
They will push like sunlight through any and every societal duty
that has been placed upon me even before I was born.
My body will wither like the dahlia that it is
and when the moment comes
I will not fear the end
just as I have not feared men
I would have known that I lived as a human
and will find peace and comfort in my existence on this earth
I will look forward to what is in store
This is my choice.
This is my refusal.
This is my proposal to all women and men.
Let us live as beings.
