I am a Woman

08 July 2014

STEPHANIE AISI

This poem is dedicated to my mother and all other women before us
who paved the way for women of this generation to be heard

I am a woman
Clothed with culture
I speak
They can’t hear me

I am a woman
Sewn together by religion
I speak
Why can’t they hear me?

I am a woman
Now a mother
I speak
She hears me

I am a woman
High school to university
I speak
They can hear me

I am a woman
Indebted to women before me
I speak
I am heard
