A Real Woman (Mature)

How does modern society define A real female, what is "womanly"? One whose virgin soul is of the divine Or whose pale existence is chosen anonymously? Given no voice, choice or purpose, trapped in her life Submissive and frightened, blindly follows along Cluelessly serves and obeys as a "good little wife" All she knows to be right is dismissed as sinfully wrong Is it "unfeminine" for girls to wear pants? Do big, buxom boobs and curls bed more guys? Do giggly blondes have more fun and romance, Or do they just hear more chauvinistic lies? Smart, strong, pretty, talented, charming, well-versed Not weak, groveling, unheard, raped, abused, and defiled But sensual Goddess; clever, sincere words unrehearsed Whose role isn't only to breed and breastfeed a child In my eyes, a real woman is someone Who holds head high, clings tight to faith She doesn't settle for just mere common Follows her own righteously destined path Keen sense of humor, heart of 14k gold Positive attitude between hormonal flows Glowing inner beauty, innocence never grows old Creative genius, bold, sensitive, an ethereal rose To me, a truly complete woman means so much more Than monthly cycles, orgasms, chores, or birth Equality bleeds a river of love that freely pours Needs no slovenly male to determine her untold worth No ego-bruised slave driver or disgruntled ex Her cunt desired only for cheap, amusing sex Comes and goes as she chooses, reaping her tired life As brave warrior, poet, mother, sister, wife A compassionate person of honor who fights hard to keep What belongs held tight inside earthy, weathered hands Untethered spirit allowed to laugh, hurt and weep Never hides her tears and intuitively understands; A REAL woman is one who lives and dies, who feels passion down deep (c) 6/01, 3/04 SmSThis is something that I've always wondered about: What does it mean to be a female living in a male dominated society, and how do you define what a "real" woman is? Here is what I think it means...I'd like to hear your ideas, too. Written April 10th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 05:21 PM PST, Sheryl Marcia Schwartz   15 • 11 • 4
