Everyday Woman
I am a woman.
I am told everyday
what I should
be
think
do
look like
and never once
have I been asked
my opinion
of those things.
I am a woman
and each day
I put on my
armor
and march off to
battle the world.
I am a woman.
I love my growing intellect,
my passable soprano,
my heart of compassion,
my donkey-bray of a laugh,
my big-cow eyes,
my just-because smile,
my distinctly feminine curves,
my average length and color hair,
my firm but falliable faith,
and my internal and external strength.
I am a woman.
What's your superpower?
