I Am A Woman

My eyes hurt
My back is pained
I am a woman.

I work hard
I play hard
I am a woman.

I drink pints
I drink wine
I am a woman.

I like dresses
I like shirts
I am a woman.

I eat pizza
I eat cake
I am a woman.

I go running
I go boxing
I am a woman.

I like guys
I like girls
I am a woman.

I bleed
And I argue
I am a woman.

I take the bins out
I cook the dinner
I am a woman.

I have sofa days
And I fart
I am a woman.

I am married
I am not
I am a woman.

I am sexy
I am cool
I am a woman.

I sing
And I dance
I am a woman.

I want kids
I don’t want them
I am a woman.

I scream
And I smile
I am a woman.

I read books
I write poems
I am a woman.

I am hard
And I am soft
I am a woman.

I walk tall
Can feel small
I am a woman.

I have muscle
I have brains
I am a woman.

I am chubby
I am skinny
I am a woman.

I wear make-up
Or I don’t
I am a woman.

I’m an actor
I’m an actress
"I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me."*

(*- quote from Maya Angelou's 'Phenomenal Woman')
