She's Not Just A Girl

She is not just a girl,

She is more than a gender,

More than the tag; feminine,

More than the metaphors in the line of a poem,

More than the punchline of a joke

She is not an excuse not a mistake

Not a property to be owned and possessed,

She is Queen,

Crafted with the hands of Zeus 

Made alive with the breath of Yahweh

She is a goddess.

She is not just a girl,

She is a rainbow after a stormy day,

A sunset after a dark night, 

A shooting star from Venus,

A fierce thunder from the lineage of Sango,

She is not inferior,

Not a slave to be traded for pieces of silver,

She is worth more than black gold,

Worth more than the Persian diamond,

She is a hero,

She is a wonder,

A warrior from the tribe of the Amazon.

She is not just a girl,

Not a fantasy to be attained,

Her life is worth more than the doctrines of a thousand religions,

She is a being with emotions,

With a voice that wants to be heard,

A story that needs to be shared, 

She is my mother,

Your sister,

Your daughter,

Your wife. 

She is not just a girl.
