I am a woman, I am Strong

Note: “This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus“. The below poem is for the theme, “Things That Define Me.”

I am a woman, I am strong;

I know where, I belong.

It is not just with the kids or in the kitchen,

But beyond the ‘set’ visions.

I am a woman, I am strong;

I know what I want.

It is my family’s smiles,

And soaring high in corporate skies.

I am a woman, I am strong

I can get things how I want.

It is not begging someone about my rights

Nor pleasuring anyone for my heights.

I am a woman, I am strong

I know how to achieve my success.

It lies in hard work and passion,

But, without compromising my family time.

I am a woman, I am strong

You cannot define me with labels.

I am free to do my will

Yet, filled with concern for everyone.

I am woman, I am strong

I keep going when everything is wrong.

I cry at night and pretend happy in morning

Still, manage the dual responsibilities.

I am a woman, I am strong

I know how to get along

Whether it is my family, in-laws, or friend

I have time for everyone at my hand.

I am a woman, I am strong

I can be a daughter, sister and a friend

With it, I can be someone’s love,

And someone’s daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, wife and a mother.

I am a woman, I am strong

I know how to carry my pride along.

In return, of love, I have ample love to provide

But, in moment of injustice, I am tough one to fight!

I am a woman, I am strong

Just do not take me granted!

I may be doings a minute,

The next, I may be gone with the wind.

I am a woman, I am strong

But above it all-

I am a human being just like you

Learn to respect my dreams and me.

I am a woman, I am strong

I am human being, just like you

Vouching to be treated equally,

Is it too much to ask?
