Womanhood is empowering, but is a constant journey of self-discovery and learning to oppose strict social ideas of how women should look and behave. I started this piece a few years ago, but have been inspired to revamp and share this work with the Steemit community.
Growing up as a tomboy, this journey took on a special shape. I hope this poem gives you insight into my story and also empowers you to stand firm in who you are as a woman.
When your breast weren’t quite spherical
But a little more pointy
See, the boys would point at me
And at the same time I noticed
The boys could run faster than me, Had bigger muscles than me
And they didn’t hesitate to boast of how they one up’ed me
And although they were never be smarter than me
For the first time I feared that they could actually beat me
And I felt weak
And all I could think was
Please, tell me again why I would want to be a lady?
