Woman Enough?

I am more woman than some criteria of “curves and fine bones”
Elegantly woven together with threads of grace and strength
Swooping and spreading my wings with uninhibited intricacies
I am the miracle of change – fierce and expressive
Breaking into pieces ties that bind in squared rooms
I am the magnificence of an eagle – beautiful, powerful and always renewing my plumage
Flying high above the fray and seeing untold truths
I am all woman yet i delve into a world exclusive to my gender
Where I’ve been deprived and denied opportunities hitherto deemed unfit for me
Don’t you see that i excel in brain and brawn?
Treading paths laden with rusted blades
Even with near and distant hisses in my ear constantly aspiring to run me off track
Still, how beautifully i remain tethered to my purpose -unafraid
Weaving myself out of a dark web of doubt and unbelief
And anchoring myself onto a tapestry of courage, kindness, honesty and wisdom
I am all woman cascading into greatness with diligence and perseverance
Need i say more that i am woman enough in all my glory?
