I Am Woman Poem by Jenny Santiago

I had a bad dream,
Never to forget what I had seen.
Falling and falling from above,
With the deadly absence of love

But I remembered that I am woman,
With the desire to love, the desire to live
The desire to give, untamed as the ocean, free as a bird.
Nothing can own me, no one may hurt.

For all I am is woman, all day and night,
I am woman and that feels right.
I am no longer scared for the absence of love,
For I am woman and I will rise above.

My entire existence is woman,
that is me.
The journey of a woman,
to understand to just be.
