Being A Woman Means
by Mystic

Being a woman is fulfilling the things
your mother was too busy raising you to complete.
Being a woman is taking all the pain and anguish
you've ever felt and translating it into beauty.
Being a woman is knowing when you're broken
and finding the tools to put yourself together again.
Being a woman is remembering how to love yourself
when the man you gave everything to...forgets.
