A poem for International Women's Day
I am tired, I am wired, I am feeling worn thin
I am broken, I am hoping that I’ll see this through to the end
I am blessed, I am burdened, I am trying to fly
I am soaring, I am roaring
I am sinking, I am reaching for a helping hand
I am more, I am less, I am more, then less again
I am stretched, I am growing, I am shedding outgrown skins
I am a woman
I am theirs, I am mine
I am don’t own my own time
It is theirs, then mine
It is raw, it is resilient, It is my heart
It is dreams, it is sacrifice, it is holding it all
I am a woman
I am a mother, I am a writer, I am a wife, I am a friend, I am a dreamer, I am a maker
I am a woman
