There is more to the Woman in Me!
We live in one dimension world,
one way perception,
two way street
that is only
black or white
I am a woman
harrowed down in my own imperfection
battling daily aperception.
of lame prejudices
and second hand opinions.
A woman is the mirror of her society
A living embodiment of entirety.
Look close, beyond my usual reflection.
There is more to me
then my flesh and skin,
this side or the other
why the glass is akin?
Why do you always see
the nakedness of my body?
finding that one flaw
that may not define me broadly.
why am I just a muse for your painting
An object of your applesauce screening?
There is more to me
There is more to me,
then what you can just absorb,
reflect, mirror or see.
