What can describe a woman like you?
How about courageous?
You are beaten down mentally.
You are told to give up.
You are advised to give in.
Yet, you stand up and say,
“None of you can have my mind!”
How about intelligent?
Eyes are rolled because of your lack of ignorance.
You are ridiculed for seeking the truth.
Manipulation is used to try and blind you.
Yet, you open your eyes and say,
“I am a lifetime learner!”
How about ambitious?
You are ill-informed that you “do too much”.
You are told, “Girl, accept who you are and quit trying to be more.”
Hurtful words are used to get you to “stay in place.”
Yet, you jump up with energy and say,
“I am a go-getter!”
How about angelically beautiful?
How many hate-filled expressions have your received,
Telling you that no other man would want you.
If only for sex?
Yet, you look in the mirror and say,
My dark skin is smooth to touch,
My eyes and mouth…flawless.
My body, indeed, well defined!
You are God’s Creation!
A Proverbs 31 woman!
Everything you touch is blessed!
You are more precious than the purest pearl!
You are worth more than a flawless diamond!
