As a child, they told meThat he is stronger than she.Now as a woman, I've learnedThat they thought they were telling me the truth but they weren't.He might be strong enough to bear my body on top of his bodyBut he doesn't know how to hold what a woman embodies.He neglects the tears, tenderness, and time she invests into him because returning no emotion is a male attribute;He wasn't taught that seeds express their appreciation by giving back fruit.And he loves the taste of her forbidden fruit,But his mouth is closed when she says that she loves him. A woman can stand tall without him though, if her roots are grounded, she can nurture herself and others with the strength in her limbs.
