I'M Just A Woman Poem by Valerie Dohren
I'M Just A Woman
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
How could I understand
For you are set above me
So tall and proud and grand
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
Beneath you, I am told,
Can never be your equal
How could I be so bold
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
I’ll be subservient
Walk within your shadow
I ought to be content
Oh sir, I'm just a woman
My only real true worth
To bear you many children
Perpetuate new birth
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
I know its somewhat trite
But somewhere deep inside me
I feel it can’t be right
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
When will you ever see
That I am stood above you
You should look up to me
Oh sir, I’m just a woman
And quite as good as you
And so if you don’t like it
You know what you can do ….!
great poem dear Valerie.i think its not for the fun.that s a truth.women deserve to stand even higher than men.they can be like ISIS. the world dont forget those great women like Marie Curie or... maybe its not accepted in some old traditional culturs or religions but i think God has created all people equally. this poem is a contrast of silhouette dismay in chauvinist societies.~nb
Depending on which part of the world we may live this poem has much truth and value, male chauvinism once in fashion, now I see on the decline, at least where I live. Well written and the point well taken, even if it was for fun.....
It is really a beautiful poem regarding women's lib with great feeling and fun. The collocation you have penned is so touching and incisive. I appreciate the way of presentation of this poem. Thank you dear madam for sharing this gem with us. Full vote. It is on my poem list.
Great piece of work., Val. Have you ever heard Shirley Bassey singing The Living Tree?
Val, Life is so crazy. It took God or whoever so much effort to put us here that then making it temporary doesn't make much sese. Anyway it is a very short lease whether 10 years or one hundred. I just keep reminding myself that everyday is a blessing. I hope you can work your way back to a better place. Dick
Val, I have been too busy with work to spend time with poetry but I just reviewed your list amazed at the volume of poems you produce. But more importantly, I can't find one I don't like. Glad to see you are still so productive. I did finally send in a new one today. Dick
HI again Dick, thought you were off the radar! Thank you for looking in again, but I am far from productive. I no longer write, my Muse has packed her bags and left. Still in a bad place ft er losing my husband. But am pleased you have resumed, have read your latest, great as always, but do I detect a note of wistfulness. Keep well. Val
