Love Poem: Invincible Crown

Invincible Crown

You stare unto my body, and you see a woman
You’d glance at every inch, from head to toe
As if I have granted each and everyone
A ticket to their own definition
Of who I am and what’s my flaw
A seat to throw your own description
As if my being is for you to owe?
So, then I looked behind to see my disposition
Just to find out that I will never know
The bitterness of this delusion
That you find my kind who fears to lose her crown
Because you watched us flaunt this rooted frame like a gown
Now you pulled it to the length that you’ll decide
And in those thin ropes, my worth would hide
If you think I’ll be shaken, just by chopping it off the ground
Then go have at it! I’ll raise my head up as I walk around
Because
I have been a woman for a long time
From the curve of my smile
and to the arch of my back
Always am a woman, it is sublime
No, I am not screaming radical
You ought to be logical
To think that a bunch of growing silk
Could turn me into something magical?
I am a woman, more than what your eyes can see
to seek the limitless soul of infinity
to bring light to life endlessly
Now if you think my planted strings owns my femininity
Let me cut it off for you to see underneath
that this is a woman, and it’s also me
But NOT a woman that I should be
But a woman I want to be
