Women am ...
to life,
to the world,
before men.
Women am ...
Women am ...
during rough times,
to hunger,
before the war.
Women am ...
Women am ...
to shame,
before him jealous,
with envy.
Women am ...
Women am ...
to the mundane,
with pride,
at the absurdity.
Women am ...
Women am ...
to those who do not see,
they hear not,
or those who do not listen.
Women am ...
Women am ...
to the divine,
with humility,
and wisdom.
Women am ...
Women am ...
with patience,
with honesty,
to goodness.
Women am ...
Women am ...
before a mirror,
a look,
or lips.
Women am ...
Women am ...
to lie,
against injustice,
to barbarism.
Women am .....
Women am .....
in a word,
I carry with dignity
and pride,
because I am woman.
because I am woman.
