"deprecatory" poems
To be a woman is hard enough to be ''challenged'' is grinding
when oppositions run rife.
However, I,
woman challenged have overcome
trepidation and opposing forces, subtle prejudices,
deprecatory show downs all disabilities, a million
shards now beneath my feet as i stand tall through
it all, a bastion now revealed, an extension of my
inner resolve.
