The Essence of a Woman

A Poem by Edel Swords

She is you she is me 

She is fierce, she is fragile, she is strong, she is tender, she is gentle, 

She is wild, she is free, she is stuck,

She is trapped,

She is chaotic, she is a mess, she is perfection, 

She is flamboyant, she is too much, she is modest,

She is afraid

She is bold, she is loud, she is silence(d), 

She is a loner, she is a leader, she is a follower

She is in pain,

She is simple, she is complex, she is oppressed, she is deep, she is shallow,

She is movement, she is stillness, she is dark, she is light, 

She is scared

She is sexy, she is spiritual, she is sensual, she is shy, 

She is fiery rage, she is still waters, she is unique,

She is repressed

She is special, she is love, she is wisdom,

She is afraid of failing, she is afraid of succeeding,

She is you, she is me,

She is all that she is,

She is you, she is me,

She is We!
