Mirror

Woman: an adult female human being.

But what is my real definition? 

A Mat? A Punching bag? A Nag? 

No, No, No What is MY real definition 

Creator, Savior. 

Forever to be seen in the light of Christianity as the temptress 

The forsaken, the one to doom MANkind with sin 

For days the woman is cursed with invigorating cramps, with the nile of vile blood 

The woman in society.. Seen as weak,  meak, or mild 

Unless you are her. 

Heavenly 

Empowered 

Respectable

She sees herself in the mirror drifting her hands down her curves, or fiddling with her hair wondering why is she hated, these men so sedated and blind with unmitigated selfishness

The fathers that were supposed to protect us, blame us 

The brothers who are supposed to respect us , shame us

The men who are supposed to cherish us, abuse and use us

Our mothers so damaged and broken how do we become a Woman with no one to lean on 

She finds herself again in the mirror staring at herself wondering why is she so hated?

Is she too thin? Too big? All she has done was lived in a way she's seen fit but why was that a reason to be hated 

She hates the mirror, the person that looks back is not a woman but a little girl. A scared, and lonely little girl

She watched the girl cry and scream for help, She's stuck in the mirror but she was never seen, never heard, never loved 

She sees the girl and pulls her out

Walks with her

Cares for her

Dances with her

Cherishes her

Loves her 

She walks the girl back to the mirror 

The girl no longer sad or afraid of the mirror yet The girl is no longer a girl

But a woman, a Heavenly Empowered And Respectable Woman.
