Do not be fooled
Do not think of me as weak, just because I fall in love,
Rather think about
your own heart that can not love to the extent I am able to, everyday.
Do not think you
can control me just because I share eagerly,
Rather look at who
you are for taking advantage of this generosity.
Do not think me
worthless now that I’ve shared my passion with you,
Rather, remind
yourself of damage caused by abuse and misuse of this flame.
Do not think of me
as strange just because I dream for better every day,
Rather look to see
your own growth and measure how far you’ve come and been.
Do not think of me
as ignorant because of my beauty,
for my strength
lay beyond the feel of my chocolate skin.
Do not perceive my
tears as a symbol of weak character
Rather remember
them as a product of inner strength.
For tomorrow
I stand up and I go on.
I bridge the gaps
you think will make me fail.
Because I am
a woman, I find a way to make me better then you could ever tell me I am.
I am a
woman, and my only weakness is believing you when you lessen my worth with
slanderous words of untruth.
Do not be fooled
for I am proud to be a woman.
