I am a Woman

I am a woman

Not a mother, not a daughter

Not anybody's wife

These are not my identity.

Love me for what I am

Not for what you expect me to be.

Accept me, respect me

Or, lose me.

I am one, I am all,

I am nobody except myself.

I am not less, not more than anybody,

I am not inferior nor superior,

I am equal.

I am not weak, I don't need a support.

I don't stand in queues labeled 'Ladies',

Except they are less crowded.

I don't fight to occupy a 'Ladies' seat in public transports,

Except the of the seats are already filled up.

I know my limits, 

I value my liberty,

I am a woman, a human being,

Equal and empowered.
