Of A Woman

I am without a costume:
Superwoman is not me:
Strong I can't always be.
My back is upright but don't assume
Strength overshadow my battle's gloom.
Days of weakness I also see
I know it might be hard to believe,
but I too; need days of reprieve.
Yes, my legs are powerful and long,
and my skin is chocolate brown;
but that doesn't mean I can kick iron doors down.
In the company of the weak I do not belong,
but I can't always be affliated with the strong.
Lyrics of the strong womans' confliction song

Deep, I dig this,but of a woman is the counterpart... man. Of a woman strong is the love & passion that takes 2 heart 2 keep man from losing his way, if true.

I like it. There are deeper, more dire conflicts, but a woman knows this one.
