#womanempowerment
the women are strong and beautiful
and relentless
the women can withstand pain
far greater than any man
113 pounds of meat walking the streets
they don’t need your muscles
they have their voice
and before you know it
you’re tossed out on the streets
or left alone with roaches
or thrown in a jail cell
or taken to court
or put in a madhouse
after they got inside your head
and tore you down psychologically
or played with your emotions like a puppet
and left you to the point of suicide while
they ride around town with younger men
113 pounds of meat walking the streets
the power they hold
the magic they perform
the voice they use
they can take you to heaven
or send you straight to hell
they can clean the **** stains
from your underwear
or have you sitting on the edge of a bed
in a hotel room, penniless, with the bottle
tilted towards the stucco ceiling,
wondering where it all went wrong
they don’t need your muscles
save them
for whoever or whatever
might be coming next.

In the silence before the bell rings clear,
A woman stands with no trace of fear.
Her fists are clenched, her gaze is tight,
She knows the battle won't end tonight.
The ropes may bind, but not her soul,
For every strike, she takes control.
In every round, a lesson’s found,
A warrior’s spirit, unbowed, unbound.
She dances with shadows, swift on her feet,
Turning each challenge into defeat.
Her gloves may bruise, but never break,
For in her heart, no room for fake.
Life throws punches, hard and fast,
But she’s built to endure, to last.
Through every fall, she rises tall,
A testament that we can have it all.
Each jab, a truth; each hook, a fight,
She battles in darkness to find the light.
In her eyes, a fire, in her heart, a song,
She teaches the world where we belong.
For in the ring, as in life, we see,
Strength is not in muscle, but in being free.
To stand, to fight, to never flee,
She’s a champion of life’s wild sea.
This is her lesson, her enduring creed,
To rise, to fight, to always lead.
In the ring, she finds her way,
And shows us all we can win the day.

We are no damsels in distress,
Don’t you try to turn us into your mistress.
Here’s a brief outline,
Without your last name we will get by just fine.
The season of chauvinism ends here,
We will no longer live in fear.
So speak as you may, in your bitter twisted lies.
Just like the phoenix, from our ashes we’ll rise.

The essence
Of woman empowerment
Should not be to equip her
To compete or reach
The status of a man
It is bringing her
To the point
Where her works
Are impacting and noticeable
And ultimately
Being able to impart knowledge
To the next generation of females

She was praised for being silent
Dismissed for speaking out loud
She was living in a woman's world
Where her chances of being heard
Would only happen if she spoke up
Her voice was soft but certainly not brittle
Sounding just like the rain
But her words strike like thunder
Ominous and commanding
That carry a weight no man could ever lift
Her face resembled that of an angel
But she raised hell like the devil
Her ancestors' wildest dreams
A plum blossom in late winter
Blooming in adversity
Unyielding to the patriarchy
But men will try to rein her in
To contain the fire she possesses
But she was never under their control
Ferocious as a dragon, freedom to roam
Burning all their limitations
A precious gift from heaven
But your worst nightmare from hell
She is a woman, all in one
Who has come into her own
And she won't ever let you forget

such beauty
should be locked away,
as they say.
such a pity
how some believe
that looks
power over the brain.
when truly
both go hand in hand
to create
an unstoppable force
of a woman.

It takes one hand to hold
One body to grow
One soul to feel
One mind for goals
It takes an opinion to take a stand
a voice to set forth command
Two eyes for us to see
the cold and distinct reality
we all live and breathe
bleed the same blood
eat the same food
makes the same mistakes
learn in the same way
lie in the same way
we venture we act
so allow me to ask
Why not treat each other
the same?

Fall seems the season for forgiveness,
But I am the only benevolent by heart,
Who reflected a privilege despite not being a son.
So for mothers with a purpose in their hearts-
There’s more than a name just pronounced,
Leave your daughters with an abundance of deliverance,
Maybe they’ll learn to build their own homes with it,
and survive in it.

The Rules of Woman
These should be done with all of your heart
And do not forget
Should not
Do the work of men
You are allowed to
Cleaning
Washing
Cooking
Be stuck, not to
Polo, pants and T-shirt,
Nor
Crop tops, shorts, sleeveless
But, wear your pride with
Blouse, dress and skirt
I know it's perfect
It defines you
Be vocal
Shows no respect
Be educated, do not
Cuss, nor swear
You can
Love
Only boy, do
Not just
Try to kiss a girl
And you will be have a happy life
This is the rules of Woman.
