I am woman.

I am strong. I am weak. I am life. I am death. I am woman I am woman.  nothing more. nothing less.  

I was weak I was worthless.

I crawled my way out.

I scream hello world! I am here to stay.

18 years passed I am ready for you world.

I am smart not yet wise. only knowledge fills my eyes.

I am bold I am strong.

I can take on this world.

I will rise to the top. I will take my throne!

40 years and the view from the top is less than perfect.

It’s time for me to make my descent.

I am old I am wise. i am slow I am weak.

My mind is not what is used to be.

I crawl into bed. my eyes grow weary.

I think this bed will be the last thing i see.

I am tired. i am happy. I will see you all soon.

From beginning to end. I was all. I was all.

I’m still strong and still weak. full of  life made for death. I am woman I am woman. nothing more nothing less.
