A Marvelous Mixture

A Marvelous Mixture

A woman’s worth is not her size or her girth.
It is not her position or face.
She is not a trophy to be boasted of,
Nor is she all froth and lace.

A woman is a human being,
A person in her own right.
She is not a piece of property
Nor a whore to screw at night.

A woman is a marvelous mixture
Of all a human can be,
And if it’s not too shocking to say it—
A woman is, well, me.
ã5 December 1993, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
