My Poem
It is copyrighted so do not touch...
I wrote it myself hope you enjoy
Strength of A Black Woman
The strength of a black woman
It's unmatched,
unparalleled,
As if God injected iron in her.
The strength of a black woman is frightening and goes unseen,
And the insecurities of others try its best to lash at it
Tare it down
But she will always remain standing at the end of the battle
She will always love others even if it means sacrificing her humanity
But yet she is still seen as inferior for letting tears run like waterfalls
I just say it’s her strength overflowing from her soul
But every super hero has its downfalls
Ever superhero has a kryptonite
And for a black woman it's the gift love
We live for love, but it does not live for us
So we gladly take heartbreak as our defeat
but it won’t take us out our struggle
And as a black woman we learn love hard
But we learn pain even harder
Even with all this on her shoulders,
She still loves past her pain
Past her scars
So if you ever want to know where our iron core lies,
It's within our hearts
Our strength may not be that of the physical
It goes way deeper
So think hard next time you call us weaker
We'll just assume that its jealousy
We'll just assume that you envy
The blessing that God copyrighted into our souls
The blessing that is the strength of a black woman

I love this poem. It captured the true essence of Black love, especially that of an African American woman. I should know because I married one that emulates a lot of those characteristics. You knew that we would post on your site first. We have supported you in the past and we will always support you in all of your endeavors! Love David
