I am woman

pr3ttyshad0ws

I am my own, never something you can hold

Bit by bit I built myself out of the broken pieces of the strong women who were crushed before my time

They wished for this, hoped for this, prayed for this woman that I have become

I owe it to them to be stronger than they could be

I am woman, forged in the fires of loneliness and heartache

I am woman, blessed by those who raised me to be my own property

I am woman, do not touch me
