SHE IS A WOMAN

She is a woman
without a friend
She has no one
not even her kin

She is not accepted
any where she goes
She is never welcomed
and this she knows

She continues to fight
for what she knows is right
She seldom sees peace
or a restful night

She knows her competition is plenty
but she’s not scared
She keeps right on going
as though they were not even there

She has it hard
trying to keep her man
She needs a companion
who can understand

She holds her head up
as if she owns the world
She is yet arising
all over the globe

She is a woman
that demands her respect
She is a woman
that depicts no regret


She is a woman
that is mature in mind
She is a woman
that is one of a kind

She is a woman
that is proud to say
I am a Black Woman
and I’m here to stay
