Woman Know Your Worth

Is being a woman a sin or curse
Is my existence a crime
Because it sure feels like it
I know I am no angel
If that’s what you thought you have found in me but

Remember when we meet
You said all the right words
You looked at me and told me how beautiful I am
You said I should give you a chance
All you want is to love and protect me

I put my dreams on hold to start a family with you,
Excited to tell I am carrying a life inside me
Up until today, I don’t know what upset you that day,
But, before I could share the news with you,
You were punching me like a punching bag,
Kicking me like a ball
You beat me to a pulp I lost the baby,
Still, I stayed because I loved you or rather,
I was in love with the dream of what we could be
When everyone around me said I should go
I stayed, I stayed because
You were the love of my life!

I gave you so many chances because I thought you loved me,

I thought if I stayed just a little bit longer,

Things would get better,

Bit by bit piece by piece I lost my self

I blamed myself because I provoked you,

Your abuse was so normal

Before I knew it,

I loved you more than I loved myself,

I lost my self-confidence,

My worth

My eye side

My ability to use my legs

My dreams

Regrets and I became best friends.

Did I deserve to be abused?

Why is a woman always blamed when things go wrong?

When you abused me, my in-laws said I proved you

When I could not keep a child full-term

They called me a barren

Not knowing the many times you beat me to a pulp I lost our babies

Struggling to have kids

God blessed us with kids

And, again they were too dark or too light to be yours my in-laws said

What exactly did a woman do?

My husband passed away and

I did not even get a chance to grieve for him

I was busy fighting with my in-laws because

Again, I was blamed that I killed you

When will it end

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Stop Women and Children abuse

I have overcome every situation I thought would break me

But it didn’t

I am a woman

Strong, beautiful, sexy, caring and forgiving

I am taking charge of my life

I know my worth

Today, I paint my own canvas

I am taking charge of my own ship

I was a passenger for too long

Not anymore

I am the captain of my ship

I am a woman

I know my worth

I deserve more

I demand more
