Women

Women are like purses

We carry so much

That which we struggle to hold

We are worn out and frayed

We hold mountains inside

Women are like novels

So rarely appreciated for our greatness

But we tell beautiful stories and weave dreams

We bind eyes to our words and draw them in

Although in the end, we are tossed aside

Women are like the sun

So bright and bold above us all

Shining just to let us see another day

So vital for our survival

And yet we are told too much is dangerous
