The Downside of being a Super Woman

I am a Super Woman! I start my day of with yes I can, and yes I will! According to my calculations...I get 26 hours of work done in a 24 hour period. Lol  I see other Super Women around me on a daily basis. Sometimes we tend to get drowned out by "bad bitches" and the "ratchets". Not to demean any other women, but that's what society and sterol term types have labeled majority of black women. Anyway, I found myself writing these poems after becoming frustrated  from being stereotyped as an "average Tv Black women". Just because you see black angry women on tv...doesn't mean we all are. Some of us get up every morning and put all we have into the day to make a difference. Anyway...I'm just venting. I'll leave it here. Please leave your feedback and comments. Good Bless ~Taye

"Untitled "

I look upon a picture

She stands alone

She seems to be holding

everything In place

No smile on her face

Looks as if she is staring in space

Emotionally deprived she is

But the picture remains perfect

As the color on one side

Of the picture begins to fade

She shifts her position

Adding more weight on her

Shoulder….

Yet the picture remains perfect

I feel her pain

And  her  face  remains the same

But another color begins to run

As again another fades

She ducks, stretches &

Moves ....

never missing a beat

 This picture is so pretty

That bears a high cost 

That she carries everyday ....
