Where is Womanhood? MAG
June 12, 2023
Where may I find such an elusive condition,
Or is it the sort of devil that finds me?
Mothers see their daughters as the new edition—
And I see myself as a “not-yet-anybody.”
No skill have I at navigating this transition;
How could I understand the stranger I’ll be?
Oh, I have such a terrible suspicion
Only time may set me free…
Does my life ever, ever come to fruition?

"Where is Womanhood?" is an acrostic poem about growth. Every human being on the face of the Earth is constantly changing and evolving, and some transitions — such as the transition from childhood to womanhood — are exciting, frightening, and confusing all at the same time. No matter how hard we try, we cannot reliably predict our future or prepare for it; all we can do is focus on who we are in this singular fleeting moment, and have faith that we are capable of handling whatever comes next.
