Woman

I hold a dangerous weapon

It’s Locked inside a vault

The blood it spills out seeps into the cracks of my mind

Leaving a spoiled bitter taste in my mouth

Its essence lingering in the air

Longing to be heard

Hiding away and scared and alone

Silently and patiently waiting to destroy

Its entire purpose forgotten by those around

Be quiet

Don’t speak

Don’t utter a word

The battle has just begun

So throw the key at me and open the floodgates

It is time to let the world hear my words.

Let this power flow through me

Let me speak my truth

What a powerful thing to be a woman

With a Voice

I hope it stings you like a bee

I hope every breath I take brings you to your knees

And you’re forced to listen to my pleas

And when you rise up you see

All the beauty and love I bring to this world
