I am woman enough
Resilience comes from endurance
My endurance from pain
Today, I seek to empower those
Who live life the same
Our struggles exist as a test of fate
Our lives are humbled
As a result of weight
We carry as baggage
I can attest to that
I am woman enough
No need to combat
My feelings, my truth
My woes, my youth
Cannot change the old
I can only stride into the new
