Womaniya...

by:Sakina Ali Asgar Siyahi
 
I am a Woman
And I like One!
Opinions, I have many,
Scars decorate me from Head to Toe!
I am a Woman
And it doesn’t cause me fear!
My Strength protects me,
My Pride Adorns me!
I am Woman
Defined by no Man!
I am my own Story,
I am, what I have made myself!
Hopeful, Creative, Nervous, Humorous,
Little bit of everything, I am!
Being a Woman is Just Not Easy…
So I must be polite,
I cannot stare him in the eyes…
That would mean I am giving him a Sign,
I am carefully measured when I decline.
My Clothes do not determine my consent,
Women are more than just bodies.
Do not judge a woman on her knees…
You never know how tall she stands.
Let’s rewrite the way we measure them,
Let’s not mock and criticize them…
