noun: an adult human female (SYNONYM FOR POWER)

If I cover my whole body,
I am outdated and conservative.
If I choose to show some skin,
I am a prostitute.
If I party every weekend,
I am a spoiled brat.
If I prefer staying at home,
I am a misanthrope.
If I am a skinny, size eight,
I am never going to please a man.
If I am a plump, size eighteen,
I am unattractive and unworthy of attention.
WHY?
Since when am I what you label me?
I am water,
I'll adjust with you, take the shape of what you put me in.
I am fire,
I'll burn you out.
I am ecstasy,
Cherish me while you still have me.
I am melancholy,
You'll find no cure once I inflict your soul.
I am clarity,
Dwell in me, shower me with your love and kisses.
I am enigma,
You'll spend an eternity figuring me out.
I am harmony,
Beautiful and pleasing.
I am a loud silence,
A definite yet infinite extreme.
I am deserving of everything that the universe can offer me.
I am not what you define me as.
I am a woman.

through this poem, i just want to show how women are independent individuals that have a share in everything just as much as a man, however, being the not very good poet i am, i feel like i am giving a wrong message here. i don't mean to say in anyway that women are the superior gender. i apologise if it comes off like that.
