Woman
A Poem

I am the fire
I am the earth
I am the ocean
I am the curse
I bare your children
I bleed in pain
I am objectified
I am treated inhumane
My intelligence is invisible
But my strength is unmatchable
I find no peace
In this institution
I am a slave
But with conviction
I grow mad
Day by day
But it’s risky
To not be okay
My spirit is broken
But my soul is alive
My heart is nonexistent
But my fire will never die
