Dreams and aspirations lie astray,
As I was taught restraint and obedience,
As I was directed to modesty and diffidence,
As I learnt to be demure and sympathetic.
.
Wrapped as a daughter, a wife and a mother.
A philosopher. A cheerleader. A dictator.
A cook. A lover. A tutor.
Warped in multiple identities but The One,
Several faces at the loss of The One.
The price I paid.
Of simply being a woman.
.
I am under veils of mystery,
Independence boxed by sentinels of society,
With their double standards and patriarchal mindsets.
The waters churn a storm beneath the calm,
The rocks brew lava within the silence.
A dam waiting to burst. A volcano itching to erupt.
Waiting for the dominoes to fall.
.
Often called by the name of the rose.
Soft as petals. Rich in fragrance.
Unforgiving as thorns.
Simply a woman.

An Oldest Battle of
All asMales
against
Females
the Battles of New
Patriarchy Verses the
Old Matriarchy that works
best as Females with divine
masculine and feminine Balance
Work Cooperatively with each other
while males serve mostly as sex slaves
and provide an occasional red meat
hunt to mix with berries and nuts
leaving so much time as
humans make
to kick
back and
relax after the Forage
and the Song and the Dance
and even the Work of Night is done
in Broad Day LiGht as Yin and Yang
Mix to make a TrUE iN WisDoM CHiLd oF LiGHT
and yes my friEnd you and many otHeRs even some
males too are aRiSinG to that Child oF understanding

not sure that the general
assessed male of our species fully
will pick up the Ball of Divine Feminine
Yin of Grace and Love as surely as reality
shows Females who already inherit a more
Natural Grace of Love are holding up a greater
Will and Strength that Naturally comes stronger
from a Foundation of Love and Grace when not
snuffed out by males/eTc.. who never gain the best gift
oF aLL of Love and Grace.. for the Greatest Potential of Yang Will
and Strength for either assessed Gender and Sexual Orientation
of the Human Race as that Dance and Song of BaLanCinG ForCe
Continues a never ending story in a never landing place of now more Love..
now more

Much power in the churning, brewing, and waiting. Maybe it will find a way…

It is true that women are often conditioned to be this way and many men feel they have permission to be the way they are. Stay strong.

The price of being a woman, very well expressed post.
Multiple identities, but lost the one that we pined for.
I agree with you one hundred percent on each and every word.
