Strong Woman

looking into the light

trying to find the strength it takes

to be a strong woman

to be dependable and honorable

 

I close my eyes

and listen to the world

but it has nothing to say

so I walk away

 

I keep moving forward no matter what

being the strong one for my family

I’m not weak

but yet I’m not strong

 

I cower in fear

at his threats

or at memories

terrible, nightmarish memories

 

then my mother lifts my head

and kisses it softly saying

it’s amazing how I haven’t broken yet

I am a strong women

ok so this poem I put up for a contest...please wish me luck I need it
