Dear Sir

Not so much a poem as it is just words..musings from an honest mind

Dear Sir,

 

I would like to apologize that my enthusiasm for laughter and love makes you believe that I am a silly girl with little knowledge and a head in the clouds. I am sorry that my curly hair, my full lips, and the curves of my body do not fit into the mold of blonde hair and protruding hip bones that society has embedded into your brain of what true beauty should be. I would like to apologize that my outspokenness and refusal of silence makes me a b***h or a woman who does not know her place. I am sorry that my less-than-conservative lifestyle and my openness to liberalism forces you to tag me as just another sinner who needs jesus or an ex-teen mother who opened her legs long before marriage .  I apologize that my breasts peeking out from my shirt offend your visual senses and take away from me being a lady. Furthermore I am sorry that my feministic mindset means that I support women and their sexuality - I support women with the same voice as a man. I also am sorry that this threatens your sense of self in a world that is strewn with the chaos and cluster of robots and wanna-be’s, of those silenced, and those without audacity of heart. I would like to apologize that my desire to be better makes you feel incompetent and small due to your own lackings.

…dear sir, please understand that the passions that burn in my belly burn for the greater good and the furthering of society and do not burn to make you satisfied. The fire is not hot to warm your coolness and it does not burn bright to make up for others not being able to see you. I am not a trophy, nor a plaything. I am not a pet, nor a support system.

But above all, dear sir, I would like to apologize for not being sorry for any of these things. Because deep down in every woman is a longing to be more then society says they will ‘allow’. There is a longing for things she never knew she wanted " even more, there is a DESERVED longing for things that she has been unconsciously told are not her right to have in a world run by man.

I will take my curly hair, my sexuality, my passions, and my ability and I will flaunt them and use them regardless of if they make me look silly. At the end of the day, man came from a woman. At the end of the day, my fire still burns. And at the end of the day, I will get what I want because women before me fought for my rights and fought for my voice and I’ll be damned if I remain silent because it better suits your world.

Author's Note

Didn't know what category this goes under.. it's not a poem..not a story.. not for anyone inparticular - just came to me as I was thinking about life. Words many women have said I'm sure.

It's definitely a true and strong statement. Very nice piece. As a man, I salute strong women. I was raised and taught by one. The strongest statement here is that as a man, who are we to judge and make rules on what a woman should be... if that same woman is our creator. Deep and very true. Hope you take this piece and publish it elsewhere. It's something both genders should read.
