Lady

I think it’s time to define myself as a female without trying to be petty or a misandrist

I used to think of myself as a delicate primrose waiting for the right time to bloom

With my heart filled with so much beauty

And my dreams ready to soar like the Eagle’s wings

Words and imaginations make up my beautiful mind

I get vulnerable and I don’t want to be seen as always strong

It’s not that easy to define what will shape my future without being anxious

I’ve heard a thousand times that the future is female

I am a human before my gender, race or sexuality

There’s no point making myself a new victim of discrimination when I can teach our fathers, brothers and sons that we strive for the same energy, kindness and love the world deserves

I’m warm and I don’t have to act cold to be tough

I don’t want to get worried if I fit into the box laid down in culture, norms or art

I have a female mind

I’m feminine

I’m a woman

Happy International Women’s Day
