I Am Woman Poem by Mikienna Joi

I am woman,
So named because I came out of man;
Both from God, equally created,
To make a stand.

I am part of the image;
Of the Most High King.
I am His expressed wisdom…his strength
…His beauty.

I make no apology,
For WHOM I be;
Graced with a purpose;
Revealed for all to see.

If you feel threaten or intimidated;
Please step aside.
If you feel inferior or timid;
You need not apply.

Only a true Son of God,
Can walk beside me;
Created for, Integral, and knowledgeable,
Must you be.

I am woman;
Can't you see?
Able and Capable;
It's no mystery.

You can't name
Or give me the world's identities;
For I am praised,
Of my OWN works and capacities.

Be the man
You are called to be;
Or step aside,
With humility.

Step up or
Step down;
For Without God's leave,
You'll never wear the crown.

Jesus is my intercessor,
My guide, my liege;
He provides, protects;
Blesses and NEVER neglects.

Survive, flourish;
Create, Nourish.
Valiant ruler of Armies;
I define Virtuous.

I am woman;
Can't you see?
I don't need;
Your Identity.
