The Things That Women Carry...


The things that women carry

are all hidden inside.

The closet of no-end

holds the tears of our lives.

From the unborn children

to our most secret fears.

The threat of their exposure

seems to always be near.

Some of us wear acrimonious exteriors

while others transpose themselves

into passive inferiors.

Our portals have docile distinctions,

distractions diverting men from our debilities.

We watch each other thru envious eyes

wondering what secret "she" hides.

Best friends only know why

somedays we are so easily agitated.

Beau betrayals, lovers lost,

and other things we have hated.

So, when face to face

examine her natural grace.

Eve's child of constant adjustment.

Men must not be reluctant

to know that she is a woman

that has things to carry....
