A Woman’s Worth

Here for your pleasure

For you to look at

With drooling eyes

Bear your children

That’s what makes me

A real women

If I can’t, if I don’t want to?

Does that make me any less of a woman?

Is my worth gone?

Your answer is yes.

I’m down for a minute

Worthless

Insignificant

So says the mouth attached to eyes that can’t see

But you’re wrong

Worth: is what you offer

The answer is clear from where I’m sitting

I offer more than you

I have a mind of my own

I do what I want with my body

You have no right

You have no say

In who I am; that is my worth
