Poem: A REAL WOMAN
A REAL WOMAN
I am a woman of substance. I walk with pride.
I have a style of my own. My elegance comes from inside.
I hold my head high; not ashamed of my past.
I am a real woman; a real woman at last.
No one knows the pain I've been through.
No one knows how I've suffered too.
I am a real woman. I can survive this race.
I can keep it together, and keep a smile on my face.
A real woman; strong and wise.
I ignore the jealousy; I ignore the lies.
I'm real and very true from the heart.
I'll let you know this from the start.
Surviving the worst, and taking care of my needs.
I am a real woman; a real woman indeed.
