O Woman what are you?

O Woman what are you?! You are battered but you rise high You are denied but still willingly you give They hurl accusations at you for you to consume And if you still don’t subside it’s acid fume You take, you tolerate, you still laugh despite terrible fate You fight for yourself with gut and dare and for more women similar fates who share

I’m in awe of you, I love you, Wait a minute, I too am you!!
