I am woman.
I know how to please myself, I can.
And less important, I know
what it takes to please a man.

I am woman.
I dream. I live.
I love. I smile.
I laugh. I give.

I will talk to you all night long
and listen to your voice.
I will help guide you in trial
when you are brinking on a choice.

I am woman and I walk
with diamonds between my thighs
and I know why the caged bird sings,
because you'll never hear its cries.

I am woman and I am strong
because I am forced to be,
I sing both harmony and melody
and you'll never stop loving me.

I am woman.

Nice poem. I especially liked this part: "...and I know why the caged bird sings,
because you'll never hear its cries."

Wow! What a woman you are too.  Bravo, I liked your self assurance and how you coined yourself with poetic justice. "with
diamonds between my thighs" Great!

"I am woman" ~ and that ye be! ~ and a strong, self-confident one at that! You appear to be learning from all your life lessons and that has made you wiser, stronger, and your own woman!

I was smiling right thru' the write!

Incredible write, Dixie!  Hmm?  They do say "diamonds are a girl's best friend".
