A Woman Of Excess
8 May, 2009
Author: Karla Bardanza
I am a woman of excess
Either i love or i hate
I confess...
I am woman who doesn’t know
How to kneel down...
(should i know this insecure art?)
My mother has never taught me
To be a good girl...(poor me!)
She said i should never bow...
Later she said i should never
Sink but always swim.
She has never fondled weakness
Inside of me, never.
When i am in despair, she says:
Look at yourself in the mirror and ask it
If you deserve this...
Most of the times the mirror says no.
So i fish courage somewhere.
I am a woman of excess...
I never allow my heart to close
The windows.
