for any woman who feels lost

“THE WOMAN IN ME”

I am a Mother,
don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I give you life,
I nurture your soul,
For I am a Mother
and this is my role.

I am a daughter,
don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I bear the traits,
of the Mother who bore me,
For I am the daughter,
of the woman before me.

I am a grandmother,
don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I’ve pushed past the bondage,
for my right to be me,
For I am a grandmother,
liberated and free.

I am a wife,
don’t ask me my name,
’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I give you support,
all the love you require,
For I am a wife,
I give all you desire.

I am a sister,
don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I fight to be equal,
amongst one another,
For I am a sister
and you are my brother

I am a woman,
don’t ask me my name,
I’m just one of millions,
created the same.

I wear many faces,
fulfill many needs,
For I am a woman
and this is my creed.
