I Am Some Kind Of Woman
So… Something I wrote. I like it. Feedback please. (Shout out to Larry who gave me the idea!)
I am some kind of woman and I dare you to disagree
I could pour my soul out before you and you’d never understand me
You see this soul… MY SOUL… is constantly overflowing
With pain, pleasure, promise, and praise and I’m still growing
The ‘me’ you knew just yesterday is so far from the ‘me’ today
I could point you in all the right directions and you’d never come my way
The pieces to my puzzle are scattered, they aren’t for you to find
You could try to fit them one by one, but you’d never unlock my mind
I’M UNDEFINED
The definition of me is one that has yet to be discovered
Study every book and find I’m the one topic that hasn’t been covered
Because you cant learn anything about me from simply reading
I’ll tell you everything you need to know and you still wont believe me
I am the daughter of every mother… every woman is within
His rib begat my rib and that is only where my story begins
The wisdom of grandmothers passed is stored inside my cerebral safe
The determination of mothers raising fatherless sons paves my way
The strength of sisters taking care of siblings fuels my spirits daily
The pride of daughters looking up to me is what continues to save me
My heartbeat pounds like the biggest drum sounds from Mother Africa
My stare is as cold as the coldest winter in the coldest corners of Antarctica
Every woman from every corner of the world has some trace inside this one
Each of them is a part of me and there is nothing that can make me undone
I am this and that woman; she is me…I am her… that may be too hard to see
But I am some kind of woman, if you doubt me, try me, I dare you to disagree.

Man after readig this I feel like steve harvey in king s of comedy when he kicked the mic stand over. this roght here, this joint right here is generational, this is one of them poems that can follow in the mode of “lift every voice and sing” it is one of them poems that has the ability to send tingles down your spine and raise your confidence. this is one of them poems that says everything that needs to be passed from mother to child. dam Just dam
i agree with still. this shit is classical. this is passion. man, this is a wonderful piece to frame and sale in the streets. every female in the world needs to read and study this. this is by far the most profound poem you’ve written in my opinion. this is legendary stuff right here. if you never wrote another flow in this land of earth i’d be satisfied with reading this one of yours every day. i agree with the crowd, i love it too.
I am here to cry all over the passion from this poem. Although it’s that slam style it’s like the words give way unto the voice of you…
If you decide this is a piece that you should spit and record just so the emotions of the poem can be captured in your voice…this piece is just that powerful that I don’t want to read it the way I perceive it but I need to hear how it follows from your spirit.
Thanks for the inspiration by sharing your gift of words

@GoddessNailah - Thank you for always adding your insight to your comments. It’s truly wonderful for someone to be so honest and sincere. Thank you again for commenting, haven’t decided about recording it yet. Talking to a few ppl, maybe.
@Stillpoetic - Man… ya’ll made me feel really good about this piece. Truly an honor for you all to feel that way. i dig it. 120%!
@ISLYMORE - We dig the fact that you’re digging yourself more and it’s evident in your words…thanks for your open heart to the words I have to share because I feel that I am free from being maliciously attacked by a kindred soul.
Plus it’s all pretty here, WHO REALLY WANTS TO LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL SITE!!??
WHO’S guning for ISLYmore to RECORD??

@GoddessNailah - me too, me too

Good work! I love this one.
I’m sorry I don’t comment more, I suck.
Love this. Feels very empowering and feels so true to me as if I wrote it. Loves it.
Why haven’t you written in a while though? (even though I know I’ve been incog-negro)
