Am A Strong Woman Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

Measure not my weakness by my tears
I do not cry because am hopeless
These running streams tell that am human

You cannot judge me by my fears
How can you tell how deep they run
Just by mere look in my eyes

I am not frail because am a woman
It is out of meekness I bow my head
A sign of respect out of free will

I do not cling because am hopeless
I choose to stay on out of faithfulness
To hold on because I care

Dare never treat me as useless
Always taking me for granted
Am worth more than imagined
