Woman.
Mother, Nevertheless twice in the running
In a place society misconnects reality
Where we do the things we are forced to please those who inspire us
No matter the hatred and disgrace
Family.
The home that everyone knew was home
Where the culture indulges you to stay close
To stay safe.
Friends.
The time when outside was still our reality
When we didn’t have disadvantages of location
Where fun wasn’t with advancements
Disaster.
The lovely day that always has its climax
Where the towers fall and destroy with pain and misfortune
Childhood.
What consisted of White and a Witches Secret
The shows that filled the brain and hypnotized the mind
The opposite culture stereotypes to be hated by us,
Yet the cinema was adored by the wise
Regrets.
When life doesn’t go as planned,
The time which we wished to be higher, admirable
But realizing what we have,
And what we want,
Don’t always go together.
Love.
When we respect our mentors
And appreciate our blessings
Knowing others give what was never imaginable to get
Experience.
We learn money and living to survive
We enhance beauty and our arts to strive
We empower our beliefs to comply with our pleasures and mind
Interests.
Money,
And those protectors that keep our soles from bleeding and cracks
Sweet and bitter perspectives that kept us at peace
Diamonds, the two we keep in hiding from places far of reach
Because we know we won’t gain them again
Values.
Honesty,
Trustworthiness,
And realizing that lies and advantages show us those aren’t our truths
Contradicting Achievements.
The children we birth to become our future, and all the unexpected children after
With love and worry about our future yet disregard that they need us too
Death.
Turn over,
With everything out in the air,
To be kissed and praised
So everyone knows we did this.
Drugs.
Our wishes and desires to do what those of us pressure society to indulge in when age is of matter
But realizing we don’t urge or undergo the desires everyone else conceives.
Surprise.
Mother. Period.
Partner,
Managing to love our lovers even during times of war
With our given nature
On the days women like us are recognized
Legacy.
Our blood culture to be passed and traditionalized like the ancestors before us
Endings.
Knowing there would be no other subjects we desire to discuss
