I like the feeling
of being a w o m a n,
those moments when
you're walking along oblivious
or standing up tall
with that feminine power
creating a warm aura
that surrounds your body
and all of a sudden it hits you,
a soft comforting pat
like your breasts bouncing
around during a light jog,
hips swaying on
their invisible slanted track
just traveling back
and forth in a motion
that
mixes up so many
senses and strengths,
that gets associated
with assorted scents and actions
You might be working
or in a checkout line,
in the grocery store
when you realize
that hey, you're a woman
and that's a damned amazing thing
women do so many astonishing
achievements every day
like the miracle
a body just like yours
has in that it can
create in it another
or, even the capability
to provide enough nurture
for the created
to live off of
to be a woman
or to come from a woman
to be alive
is an amazing thing after all.

Writing this one was a big thing for me at the time, it was a celebration of being female, and of life in it's complete glory. At a time when I was coming of age, not comfortable in my own skin and not wanting any body attention at all. I was a cutter before that was really a known of thing. And though not suicidal, I always felt everybody would be better off with me gone. You know, if something were to happen I didn't see a reason to fight it.
I had no self esteem and many years of childhood abuse to overcome. Sadly I fell into the trap of devoting myself for many more years to a man that abused me in other ways instead.
Finding these moments to appreciate and enjoy little things wasn't easy back then. But I did find more and more of them eventually.
One of my family's friends used this in her wedding. It made her feel better and stronger, and I hope it does for more people too.
It gets easier and easier for us to be too busy to stop and smell the roses, stop and appreciate the blessings and wonders of life.
Catch them while you can, as many as you can. They're more important than those Pokemons. :)
Thanks for reading! Words are mine.
