A Woman's Warning


I may be a girl
but I sure as hell am not weak
I may be a lady
but I can do more than i speak
I may be a woman
who can bear your future 
But I am a person
a person, not a freak!


You think you can intimidate
and scare like a child
Oh, you don't know my temper
it is rare, but not mild
While I can birth
I can kill with equal ease
If you cross me the wrong way
I will do much more than just tease


It may be a joke for you to laugh at
but sexist comments are a bane for me
While you simply say and let it go
it is a scar insane for me
I don't know why you think that you will get away with it
do I look like someone who will forever live with it?
I will take myself and the comforts I bring
and move away from your traumas, in joy I will sing


It isn't running away when it is the harder thing to do
it is a choice, for even a woman must do what a woman must do
I think it is best if you get your act together soon
else the repercussions in the near future will turn you a loon
We all wish only the best for you because it is our nature
but things can change, as I can see in the near future
mothers, daughters, sisters and wives
don't forget, these are all real lives

So stop playing with us, you morons of men
you don't need to be a cock just because she is a hen!

I may be a girl
but I sure as hell am not weak
I may be a lady
but I can do more than i speak
I may be a woman
who can bear your future 
But I am a person
a person, not a freak!

That is one strong woman poem. Now one that speaks of YOU, without any references to ...ugh...them.

Kudos to u for saying we are a person first before any relation defining us.. very apt and true in current scenario..All the best! !!

I appreciate your courage to express a woman and her individuality which is the most important part and need to open up. Loved your poetic expression.
