Woman

I am woman
i am holder of life
i am used
and broken
and i am tired
of holding the weight of woman on my chest
i am not sure what being a woman entails
and i am tired of hearing about how it's obvious i used to be a tomboy
and how i'm not womanly
but my body is
but my face is
but my demeanor didn't matter when you were trying to get inside me
i was a pretty girl then
i am tired of other women
i am tired of hearing that b itch think she so pretty
i am tired
of being tired
i've spent my life running but staying in the same place
and proving
and trying not to be too pretty
but pretty enough
and black enough
and happy enough
and woman enough
i've had enough
when will it be enough?
