I am woman.
I am beautiful
I am smart, strong
sensible.
I am a daughter, a sister, a niece,
a cousin,
a friend, a co-worker, an enemy.
I am a bookie, a dreamer, a student,
I am a chef, I am a creator, I am a mentor.

You say I am emotional.
You say I am irrational, passive,
and weak.
You say I am old-fashioned, young
and inexperienced.
You say I am one-dimensional or
a one-way street.
You say I’m not a male,
and that’s right,
I am a female
and I am might.
