The Women I am 

I am different women 

Covered by layers of past

My sins are malicious 

My heart is black and white

I scrape drily at the grey parts

Seeking for a reason,

Why I dance to tunes of temptations,

How I wiggle my waist to its drum

As I snub my soul’s warnings

I know forgiveness awaits me

So I sway drunkenly

Dragging my feet across the red sands

Slowly caressing the earth with my toes 

I closed my eyes and raised my hands

Dancing sorrowfully,

For the women beneath  me 

The many women I am….
