I Am Woman

I am a woman

It's not my fault
I was born a paradox
sweet and soft and malleable
but armed,
with a brain as quick as a rabbit,
a tongue as sharp as a dagger
and a spirit that will not yield

Kill me, beat me, rape me,
you'll never, ever break me
I was born a woman,
a goddess in the womb

not a stallion born to be broken.

Love this!

I adore empowerment in women.

One line bothers me
with a brain as quick as a rabbit,
rabbits are stupid,
Very well written, you wordcraft well
but that rabbit?They are more known for breeding, which does not equate with intelligence. Sure they are fast but not smart. It seems you equate intelligence with breeding. Tell me I an wrong.

I like this lines:

Kill me, beat me, rape me,
you'll never, ever break me
I was born a woman,
a goddess in the womb

not a stallion born to be broken.

This is wonderful stuff, go go go

The title and the first two lines had me laughing and excited,
and I was not disappointed by the rest either.

If we think of the rabbit in Alice through the Looking Glass then....?

I see Jess is abs right

Rabbits only sexualize,
they homoise
and
are downright stupid,
in intelligence naught
and
forever in sexual acts get caught.

The sex in rabbits
surpasses all
and
intelligence, you as a woman
too have after all.
Look around the world,
UK and India and indirectly America
are ruled by women
Sexual rape and body massage
are simple acts on their part
as men are born
with an external sword,
women hold the umbilical cord

An excellent write the above

An excellent write the above have said it all, just think that a "Rapier" would be much better than a Rabbit, as it is such a sharp clean weapon to be used with caution, lol , Yours Ian.T
