What it Means To Be A Vibrant Woman

To be bold and to stand up
for what she believes in.

To dare to speak the truth
and show respect where it’s due.

To be loved and be appreciated
for who she is.

To know right from wrong.
To be a teacher and be a achiever.

To be a caretaker and to be a friend.
She’s a fighter, believer, lover and supporter but above all she’s a vibrant woman.

Is it someone who reflects a delicate,
fragile being?

Nothing more than a teacup embroidered
with gold that can easily be shattered,

Or are we deer in a forest,
being prayed after by bobcats

Who are just waiting to pounce and
take what they can and leave?

No.

We are Women, and to compare us to anything less than human

wouldn't do enough justice to the power
and strength we withold

in such "delicate" viens that pump
the very blood that runs humanity.

We are beautiful beings who will build you
up only to tear you back down

Because centuries of oppression and dehumanization taught us
that your words won't phase us

And we will rise above the filthy ground
to prove what we've been trying to

Since the dawn of our time.
We are so much more than petals on a flower

Or pages in a book. We are the match
that ignites the fire and the flame

that burns brighter and brighter.
That is what it means to be a Vibrant Woman.
