Poetry once read no more, yet it pulses,
Emotions unfelt now but lived,
And life unlived, fades away,
In the end, women.
To be born, courage.
We resist.
The whirlwind of our first seconds of life
Is just a glimpse of the years to come.
Feels,
Sensations,
Noise. Chill.
Commotion.
Hunger. Pain. Fear. Bliss.
Strength.
Let there be light.
We persist,
Following heart dictates,
Commanding, yet embracing.
Often,
it scalds the soul,
Upon unguarded skin.
Pain,
Anger,
Yearning,
Erodes,
Each passing day,
A fragment of our being.
To be a woman is to embrace courage.
Bearing the essence of life
Signifies rebirth,
Whenever needed.
And every time,
We resist.
Don't dye your hair,
It does not match you,
Lose some weight
For beauty's sake,
Learn domestic arts,
It's women's duty,
That's not how a lady behaves,
You must be tough,
And countless other verses,
That could have been in the trash.
Through poetry, the verses surge,
Even if no eyes reach their lines
They seep,
Falling,
Breaking free,
From me.
Me, the bearer of life,
Forced to remember my role,
In blankness,
With droplets of blood,
Once allowed to escape,
To flow,
From within.
Not today.
I won't look behind,
Being born a woman was my act of courage.
If our lives were an essay,
We would need no cover.
They delay,
They burden,
They wound,
Much like the men
Who've crossed my path.
This poetry doesn't bend
Of those, my body's curves
Which I once despised
Are enough
The courage of curves
In this straight world.
Madness,
They declare,
And I,
No longer care.
Madness,
their term,
that defines when women get fearless.

Morning with 🎭
I don't usually share my poetry but started doing it after @camilags and @arjantupan encouraged me. This one is almost a war chant for me. And it goes for all women out there.
Wow, strong words. Powerful and engaging. I like the flow. Thank you for having the courage to share, Marcela. Well done. 270 $degen
Thank you! I am often bothered that I don’t care about syllables count or rhymes, but i guess i’m more concerned about how the feelings match along the flow ❤️ thank you for the tip 😬
Women face many challenges. The best way to improve the situation is for men to better understand these issues. Your poem is amazing! 💗

Thank you! i’m so glad i found your profile🥹✨
Great poetry! It shows me another dimension of poetry which I don't explore. Indeed poetry is an art. A combination of mixed emotions and advice. I'm not a woman so I might not directly relate but those emotions were real. Well done Marcela 5 $degen
Thank you! My poetry is very much emotions and very few structure, not sure i should improve it though.. it so… characteristically mine. i am also happy that i could made someone who is not a woman feel what i felt! this is great! thank you so much ❤️
