Let’s Talk of Being a Woman

Let’s talk of being a Woman

What I see is
unrealistic expectations
What I experience is a double
bind
Live your destiny- follow your flow
and be
sure to be emotionally present to
your children and
partner
Take care of yourself
And take care of
your family
Have a consciousness of the pain and suffering in
the World
And be conscious of your own

Hmmm
Split right down the middle of the heart

To find the balance
What a
journey
Pushed and pulled
Twisted and
turned
To the left no to the right
To stay or to
go
To hold on or let go
To follow templates of
the past or to pioneer
Be strong and independent or let
yourself fall in and experience need
Oh
Women’s
liberation
What are we doing to
ourselves
Really
