BEING A WOMAN MEANS A LOT OF THINGS
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE STRENGTH AND BACK BONE
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY STRONG WHEN WE ARE BROKEN DOWN
WE GO THROUGH HEART ACHES FROM LOVE
WE CRY, WE LAUGH, WE LIVE, WE EXPERIENCE
AND THROUGH IT ALL OUR HEADS ARE STILL HELD HIGH

BEING A WOMAN MEANS SUBMITTING OURSELVES TO BE HURT, JUST TO BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN
IT MEANS GROWING UP WHEN WE STILL HAVE A CHILDHOOD TO LIVE
BEING A WOMAN DEFINES BEAUTY, GRACEFULNESS, AND EMOTIONS

AS A WOMAN WE ENDURE THE MOST PAIN, THAT A MAN COULDN'T BEGIN TO TAKE...

WE OUR MOTHERS, SISTERS, DAUGHTERS AND MOST OF ALL LOVERS...

WE OPEN OUR HEARTS, WHEN EVERYONE ELSE SHUTS US OUT...WE HAVE BEEN STOMPED ON BEYOND RECOGNITION..BUT WE CLEAN UP OUR WOUNDS AND START THE DAY

I MUST SAY I AM PROUD TO BE A WOMAN

Love… love has been a battlefield… a warzone
constant struggle… a need to will
the give in… the take
the investment… the payoff
the perfect kiss
the timeless event
standing still while the clock ticks
the lost… the found
the old… the new
purchased over and over by us same fools
who fall into the grips of devotion but stand firm in the eclipse of emotions
we lovers be rebels with a cause, tired of waiting for the bell to sound
so we are the ones to ring the alarm
the freedom fighters of all things hoped for by belief
we go at it like teen lovers in the backseat
fogging up windows toe to toe blows
Ambiguous moans brand the dialect of our hearts song
holding on to the future…Letting go of the past
steadfast in the present
this verse to the vice all grounds covered with naked souls
no stone left unturned but plenty of rocks thrown
gotta brace ya self tho for its blows …no one eva knows
when they’ll be hit… eva been lovesick and loving it?
Forsaking self to put another first
When having the last word doesn’t matter
It comes naturally unrehearsed
It’s a quenched thirst
Being led by a famished spirit
The physical, spiritual ritually elemental metaphysical state of being
The want to the need with desire in between
*lemme break it down for those that don’t know what I mean ….
Ive hung myself on the limbs of dead trees standing on the cliff of lover’s leap
Fuck being sleepless in seattle
I been an insomniac in his arms
Out of breath in our whispers
Cried out to the gods of venus
And still…love … cheats
This right here is the sound of heartbreak
Shattering into a million pieces
This is what it sounds like when the doves cry
What it looks like when an angel’s broken their wing
The same to make u smile will make u cry
Why …. Do fools fall in love ?
…..Because it’s the best gift… life… will ever give
Im habitual offender, a first class felon
Killin my own spirit in the namesake of 4 letters
So I say…. I …. LOVE you!...easily
Ive been in act 5 scene 2 Desdemona to Othello a guiltless death ive died
For ive tried to live by the heart and played the part whole-heartedly
Half ass laughs to shelter bittersweet tears
And still I live for the day that love, loves me back
damn 21 questions i got just one are u willin to spend a lifetime making this investment for the payoff of my love?

never be broken
remember the chain that binds us
tied together in hopes that we
would turn on one another
but we identified with eachother
though from different tribes
we, just like them
wanted the greater good for us
but it was much more hard for us
dark skin-our commonality
big nose, lips
once kissed by the african sun
now darkness and "unenlightenment" permeates
unfamiliar; this land, these people
their principles

never be broken
remember the chain that binds us
america the beautiful
beautiful... my beauty
only the motherland
not this other land
that's founded upon my blood sweat and tears
*singing:columbus discovered america in 1492*
they may be fooling you
but dr c.g. woodson told me different
