I Am Woman

What is it?

What is it that you see, when your eyes are fixed on me?

I mean, you undress me with your eyes, carve my curves with your imaginary hands.

You assure my beauty, I trust your lies so…

In bed I lay with you because you promised me the stars, moon and sun.

Even though all 3 a fixed in their positions, somehow you managed to place them in me!

I give you a home, a meal, I bear your children and support your dreams, after your mother I cover all your needs.

So what is it that you need?

What is it that you need from me?

Because your phone is going to voicemail, you haven’t slept in our bed for 7 whole days!

7 whole days you ignore me, come back on the 8th and tell me work was hectic.

Nicole, Samantha, tapiwa are all blowing up your phone, you tell me it’s nothing serious,

But you beat me in front of the kids and later blame me because all of a sudden, I can’t cook, I speak to much, I question your actions.

A month later you tell me we won’t work and you need something else.

Where are you?

Where are you now that your sons and daughter question your presence?

You don’t bother to be present in their lives so I work 3 jobs, pay bills and attend all their school functions because I am them and they are me! So I refuse to let your failure follow them.

What are you?

A cruel man who promised me heaven on earth, life in death, us two against the world!

We left our home town because you had big dreams for us! Dear man, what are you?

I seem to question your being, I go from light to dark, fire to ice, high to low, loud to silence,

In our bed I lay in solitude.

What do I see?

This is what I see when I look in the mirror

A beautiful, pear shaped lovely woman

I see a woman who has walked out from the battle grounds with just a mere scratch.

I see a woman who has been raised from the ashes by her creator, He calls me beautiful

What do I need?

Nothing but the word of my God for it lies the truth of my being!

I need Jesus who is my strength in times of trial, my friend in times of loneliness

I need the comfort of the Holy Spirit, for He holds me where you failed to!

All I need is the hand of my creator, notice I don’t need you!

Where am i?

I am above and not below

The head and not the tail

Christ’s truth and not your lie

The present and future not your contradictory past

I am seated in heavenly places

What am i?

I am strength

I am power

I am bold

I am brave

I am beautiful

I am a warrior

I am a mother, a sister, a friend, the apple of my father’s eye.

I am Queen

I am Woman

You lost the plot when you thought you could handle me, baby handle this truth:

We will never dim our lights to let you shine

We in habit a gold mine

Though you think that’s between our thighs, boy they told you lies!

Ha! Do you still not know what we’re capable of???

We’re capable of leading and mothering nations, Joyce Banda

Influencing and changing lives, Oprah Winfrey

Billions in the bank account, Folorunsho Alakija

Queen of Ndalo Media, Khanyi Dlhomo

Humility in all its royalness Princess Diana

Advocating education for young girls, Malala Yousafzai

I am strength in your weakness

I am light in your darkness

I am WOMAN
