Just A Woman

                           I command attention, and demand respect.

I take what I want, and give what I get.
I’m told there’s a fine line between sleazy and sexy,
Radical and racy.
I’m often accused of being just a lady.
My love is mistaken as obsession, crying is considered a weapon
Rather than an expression of what I feel inside.
Only because I am just a woman.
Too fragile to be strong, too emotional to hold on,
Too beautiful to have brains, too weak to refrain from
Making a change, or stand for what I believe.
So I ask who draws these lines, and define behind which line I should reside?
Remain the same? Play the game? Place blame? Or aim to tame the lame
Attitude of being just a woman. I emerge from existence, with the essence of
Lessons learned, and the proud title of being a Woman I’ve earned.

Bravo, awesome, beyond brilliant. Whether you support Hillary or not, it has been painfully clear that she has been treated just like your poem says. And the sad truth is that all us women have endured this double standard of what ever puts us down is the truth of the moment. Whose truth? whose truth that can be contradictive just to fit the situation? I leave you to answer that one yourselves. Excellent. Liz
