We roll with superhero status on the daily.
Yet, we are thought to be the weaker of the sexes.
Let a car run over our child and see how easily we toss that car off our or anyone else’s baby.
Let someone invade our home and watch us defend it like Special Ops.
Let someone hurt our feelings and they will never forget the sting of our retaliating words.
The belly stretch marks the media tells us must be hidden in shame
are really tiger stripes showing that we brought another human into this earth.
ANOTHER human being,
That we nurse and raise and fiercely protect with every breath we have until we have no more.
We learn, we work, we teach, we toil, we stay quiet.
We are so strong that sometimes we let you believe we are weak in order to nurture your little ego.
We are queens,
We are mothers,
We are lovers,
We are she.
So don’t tell me what I am supposed to look like,
That I am or am not beautiful in or outside,
Don’t tell me I’m not thin enough, tall enough, blonde enough.
Don’t tell me I’m in the wrong clothes, that my heels aren’t high enough,
That I am not enough.
A little piece of Gaia thrives within each of us female types,
HERstory shall be told,
Because we are SHE that rules the world.
Girls of all ages...Womanhood welcomes you and the world needs you.
