Dear Men
I sat on the
cold floor and and collected all the broken pieces of me today, got in shower
and scrapped myself of you, I soaked the bruises of your touch off my skin.
Cleared my eyes with my tears, cried away all the colors YOU said were beauty
and replaced them with mine. I hugged myself and squeezed the obsessiveness and
selfishness emotion you called love out of my heart. I took a breath for the
first time today and as I exhaled the air from my nostrils blew away the
darkness that had surrounded me before... I felt warmth for the first time as
the rays of the sun danced on my skin... I felt loved... I looked at the world
with my new eyes and saw opportunity for my talents in every corner. I walked
into the world today free from your pain free from your chains and definitions
of who I ought to be. I felt safe in an open field...safer than I did in your
heart in the constriction of your ribs, a world where everything was about you.
I left that world... I have found my place in the world too. I learnt that I too
have a place here.... I too have a purpose. I too am important. I learnt today
that I am a woman, mother of nations, mother of you.
Sincerely
I am
emancipated

Congratulations Mama!
Unfortunately, my dear lady, the world was not made in this your new view. Man and Woman are supposed to run the world pari pasu. You have either got on board with the wrong partner or you are not humble and patient enough to follow it through.
