Divine hips Which sway with elegance; Soft lips Which utter the sweetest words. These gifts allure Others more than myself. For my womanhood Gave me the greatest of gifts. My mind—a burning star. Shines bright on its own. My soul—oh so unique, Is complete by itself. My womanhood Gave me the greatest gifts, I say again. It gave me the strength To rise by myself.

Gifts of Womanhood
I watch the candle flicker Moonlight streaming through My open window A soft breeze dancing along my skin This is it, I think What happiness is This serenity, calming feeling Where nothing bothers me And I feel nothing at all I was wrong.

A false hope
The girl child is strong, I was raised up to know The girl child is rarely wrong, even when it's not so Though a fragile build, a fire in her shows The girl child is always the first to take life's heavy blows The young girl works hard, at school and at home The young girl learns duty, engraved in every bone The young girl dresses well, her look like polished stone Weight of family, weight of duty, weight she bares alone The teenage girl has personality, she learns to artfully speak The teenage girl has attraction, hence the company she keeps The teenage girl  is temped but the bucket of weight and duty never ever leaks She wants to be free like the boy, in frustration she can only weep The young lady is focused, determined without fear The young lady has barriers,that she slowly begins to tear The young lady is pressured by society, more duties come near The young lady graduates well, because of her *** her future is still unclear The woman is taken in only for the beauty of her face The woman is the minority, in every single race The woman is more qualified, but for her there's just no space It is a man's world, didnt she ever learn her place It's a cruel world for her if she doesn't become strong It's a cruel world for her if she cries at every wrong It's a cruel world for her if she mistakes life for a song Be strong woman, for woman's  life is usually very long By-Hugo

Dear woman
She was painted so beautifully. With little specks of crimson like the fire that burned in her heart. Dots of pumpkin and persimmon dancing on that one patch of hair she never died back. Drips of amber and daffodil seemed to glow around her body as she wished to feel happy again. And a shaded emerald painted like bars which contained her jealousy because all she wanted was to be perfect. Swirls of cerulean and teal like the tears that dripped off of her face. And the violet dashes were her moments of tranquility where her hands created magic out of papers and pen and her mind was finally put to peace. The magenta smeared across her lips, making her feel a tad bit prettier. Dabs of maroon like the blood that was shed, When she used the silver blade to pierce her golden bronze skin. She was a colorful girl behind the grey mask she hid under, All to avoid the threats she received in black and white.
