she
who is she
that the world defines?
what is woman?
who is a woman?
is she the one
clad delicately in stockings?
when she is african
is her hair braided?
does it fall slightly beneathe the nape of her neck
or does it caress her forehead?
do her hands slide gracefully over her hips?
does she batter her eyelids and reveal hints of mascara?
what is woman?
who is a woman?
does she leave a trail of ester lauder
or christian dior
as she walks?
as she walks in the heels ever so high?
is she seemingly perfect?
flawless
if she is black
is her skin like milk chocolate?
with a smooth finish
unblemished
who defines woman?
does she spend endless hours in the kitchen?
creating masterpiece after masterpiece
does she sew, knit
iron clothes just right?
who is this woman?
they say God made woman
perhaps He defines womanhood and all that's in it
is it simply being?
simply loving?
simply being loved?
resting in His arms, in His all, in His everything
and being what He has called her to be?
i can be a woman too
if it all it takes is knowing God
because if He gave me this role
He'll show me how to play it
so who is a woman?
the girl i guess
the girl who looks in the mirror
and sees her reflection
fair, rich, smooth, spotless
freckled, plain, sometimes unseen
jeans, sweatpants, suit, bra
everything and nothing
in those who defined womanhood
but always something in He who defined her
