Woman

She is strong,
fiercely independent with a determination
that can only be placed in a class all its own.
She is nurturing,
with a fiery personality
and a constant burning need to prove everyone wrong.
She is caring,
and holds a deep and abiding love
for those lucky enough to get close to her.
She is beautiful,
inside and out;
her flaws add a certain gleam
to her multi-faceted personality.
She is tough and hard-shelled,
but she's also kind in nature and soft-hearted;
It takes a special person to delve deeper to explore her softer side.
She's not always taken seriously,
but she's often taken for granted;
And takes everything in stride
even if it is not benevolent to her cause.
She pushes hard to succeed,
to make her place in this world...
Sometimes failure bruises her ego,
but it never stops her, it only drives her forward.
She has big dreams, and even bigger aspirations...
Easily inspired,
She continually strives to create a better way.
She doesn't fear much of anything,
In fact, fear's afraid of her fearless nature.
She's often cautious about speaking her mind,
yet never afraid to do so.
She does what's necessary,
and she does it well,
even if it means putting her happiness aside.
She'll give you everything,
yet ask nothing in return...
She's volatile when crossed,
but still has a forgiving spirit.
She smiles outwardly,
even if she cries inwardly.
She does it all,
without really having to do a thing...
Her hands roughened from hard work,
and still her touch is silky smooth.
She's sure of herself, with an unshakable confidence...
She knows what she's capable of,
what she wants, and how she wants it.
She gets it done,
not only because she HAS to,
but because it NEEDS doing.
She always tries,
even if her attempts speak failure;
And she never lets anyone tell her
what she can't do.
She's different and normal all at once;
She's sees things for what they could become,
rather than for what they are.
She's her own person, a truly unique individual,
She
is
Woman.
