Words for the Contradictions

Women

I am a woman

I like pretty dresses 

I like daisies and roses

I like make up and nail polish

I am a woman

My sister is a woman

She's not a fan of dresses

She likes books and writing

She likes drawing and you tube

She is a woman

My best friend is a woman

She likes comfort and messy buns

She likes laughing and singing

She likes blue and Netflix

She is a woman

My Mother is a woman

She likes Jesus and Jeans

She likes studying and prayer

She likes being a mum and sarcasm

She is a woman

There's a woman who loves sports

And another who hates them

There are women who like dressing up 

And women who don't

They are still women.

There are women who like cars

Women who are engineers

Scientists, authors, interior designers,

House wives, CEO's, Officers,

Secretaries, moms, Principals

Women are fine alone

But we choose to stand by you

Choose to share our strength

Do not, I repeat do not

Make us regret our choices.

We are women 

We are strong

We are talented

We are worth more

Than what we're given.
