In Spite Of
The conversations of
what women are and what they deserve
have made me
become someone
in spite of you.
I love you
and I cherish you,
but when you tell me
that because of my biology
that I am
less,
I have become someone
in spite of you.
Thank you for those
enlightening conversations,
because without them,
I would have never turned and
learned that I am a powerful being
that deserves and will demand
respect.
Your vindictive words
have turned me into someone
in spite of you.
Thank you.
