Being a Woman

Being a WOMAN

I am not perfect, I was not born so.
I am not beautiful by my looks,
but by my thoughts.

I mess my hair up,
I wear shoes even with a dress,
I walk fast, I fall down.
I can eat more, sleep less.
I may not wear that make up,
but I would always greet you with a smile.



I am a simple girl,
with simple beliefs and high dreams.

I cannot cook the most delicious of meals,
I cannot be the best daughter or best sister,
a best companion or a best friend always,
I come with a lot of mood swings and a few tantrums.
I may not be as pretty as her,
But definitely have a beautiful world inside me.
I may not be as multitalented as another,
But I put in the sincerest of efforts in work.

I may not always express how I feel,
Yet I can have the truest of feelings I assure,
I may not be around all the time,
but can be a patient ear to hear whenever you need,
I could go a hundred steps ahead for you, 
for a step of yours,

I am not the strongest of woman,
but hardships do not tear me apart.

Don't judge me for what I appear to be,
give me a chance to be.
For what I am,
for what I can truly be.
Being a woman is hard,
in this man's world.

Feet on ground, head held high,
I am proud to be a woman.
An imperfect woman.
