There is that fear to be someone relevant
To be something promising
I was eleven when I first heard that being a woman is promising
It's all women get to talk about
The never-ending talk about blood and bodies–shape, skin, sizes
Finding the one and being belittled
To make no room for more dreams.
Being a child is promising but feeling like one isn't
I remember being five and wanting to be sixteen
I remember being twenty and wanting to be five again.
There are no cups to pour wine into, so it spills completely on a girl with dreams and cloudy vision.
Womanhood is a girl lost in her own body.
