Poems By ChidiJ: I AM

I AM

A Poem By ChidiJ

It was a quiet Monday morning,

And I found myself “Divorced”!

Who am I?

Am I now one of those women who cannot submit to her husband?

Am I a woman so overdriven with ambition and pride that she cannot set a man above herself?

Am I a modern day woman, too educated to run a home?

Am I too educated to be domesticated?

Am I a male woman, not feminine enough to be loved?

Am I a bad mother, depriving her children of the ideal home and a father?

Who am I?

Who do you think I am?

I am a woman who decided that enough is enough.

I am a woman who can take a stand for what is right.

I am a woman who can challenge the status quo.

I am a woman who sees what needs to be done and does it.

I am a woman beaten down but who still rises up and conquers.

I am a woman living in reality, not accepting any more lies.

I am a woman afraid, but unafraid to reclaim her happiness.

I am a woman educated and still motivated to keep growing in knowledge and life.

I am a woman on a mission to change the world.

I am a woman who has sacrificed her life for her children.

I am a woman with over a decade’s worth of invaluable marital experience.

I am a woman divorced…

Still...

I am rising above all odds.

Hear my victory chant…

I am Strong, Proud, Beautiful, Fearless!

Respect my worth!

I AM WINNING!!!
