The Best Poem Of Hale Tsehlana

The Mire Of Womanhood

What the mire taught me can never be taken away;
it gave me a voice to speak for myself
it opened doors and unleashed pregnant potential
it deepened my understanding of the self
it grew me wings and taught me to say NO.

So when you wear your
hyphenated smile
and try to derail my mind
I’ve got news for you –
I have my shock absorbers in place
you can’t hurt me anymore.

What the mire taught me can never be taken away;
it taught me to sing
and to celebrate myself
it taught me to fly in the face of the wind.
It grew me wings and
taught me to fly.
