TO BE A WOMAN

It is so hard to be a woman!
We would almost lose a piece of our soul!
We need to know more, how to be perfect,
Work and shine, having no right to defeat.
so many broken women,
with wounded bodies,
haven’t yet recognized a woman in agony

Those who are deeply suffering in silence

Do you know what a gorgeous woman is?
without its sacred roots,with no pride!she
Walks with head held high,
all of women are beautiful women,

You are the courage,We need
you walk through the flames! With no blame

Every day you provide your love, to the universe

You give the best of you

You wake up, to shine from the Heart of Darkness

To water the earth by your sweetness

And feed with your calm, her tenderness,
You forgive with no complaint

This is what these women are

they are femininity,

They are peace, and love
By the children they bear, they are divinity,
So you can only love and respect them.

Gratitude By Imen Melitti Tunisia

The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be rejected
They taught me how much I had to accept myself.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be denigrated
They let me know how valuable I was.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
it’s not being able to fulfill
They showed me how self-sufficient I had to be.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be ignored
They showed me how much I needed to give myself attention.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be hated
They showed me how much I should love myself.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be possessed
it showed me how free I should be.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be judged
it showed me how upright I had to be.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be hatched
it showed me how much I had to grow up alone.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to make me fall down on knees
it showed me how much I could pick myself up.
The most beautiful gift that I have been given,
is to be loved
it showed me how much I had to know how to give it back.
