PROUD TO BE A WOMAN

Is it Man’s prerogative to love and woo?
It is Woman’s duty to be coy and obliging?
Is it necessary to conform to such roles?

A woman loves more intensely than a man.
A woman feels more powerfully than a man.
A woman believes more profoundly than a man.
A woman cares more deeply than a man.

Yet her words are choked.
Yet her voice is throttled.
Yet her love is strangled.
Yet her soul is tortured.

A woman has the power to create and un-create love.
A woman has the right to define and re-define her self.
Let us make her see her strength, discover her voice;
Let us make her proud…
Proud to be what she is...
A woman.
