A WOMAN.
She is a Mother, because
She gave life.
She is a Sister,
She is a Friend,
She is a survivor till the end.
Appreciate her and wipe away
all her tears, as they are invisible as air.
She cooks,
She works,
She cleans,
She laughs,
She helps comfort,
She can hide pain,
She always pulls you through,
All of that is her,
But what do you do...?
Wait...
Let me tell you what you do...
You always complaining,
You always creating a mess,
You provide her with stress,
You sometimes leave her feeling depressed,
You mostly push her so far away,
But we always ignore her advice,
And tell her she is nothing without
Even thinking twice.
Remember that,
she was tortured,
And she was abused.
She was always used just for pleasure,
She was always told, she was nothing
without thinking twice.
Seems like we all forgot that
She is always in pain.
But she always puts her feelings aside,
She always does as you require,
The only thing she can swallow is pride.
She tolarates your anger towards her,
She tolarates your flaws,
She tolarates your ignorance
But then again you call her names like,
Bitch,
Hoe,
Makgosha,
Nja,
Sfebe
And Tramp
But guess what?
She answers with
Pride,
Dignity,
And a complete loss of herself...
You call her nothing,
I call her...
Strong,
Sensual,
Caring,
Fun,
Outgoing,
Giving,
Loving,
Surviving,
Tolarant,
Beautiful,
And very powerful
I call her a WOMAN.
