Sisterhod

Many's been the times

I remember having told you

to simply shut up,

to close that damned door

and never coming back.

I was such a violent, egocentric,

nasty human being

I'm not surprised to see

you've got someone else

other than the old same me.

I'm so sick and tired

of hearing rumours around her

of the silly comments

about the newly formed couple

you're now part of.

Nonetheless, I'm not getting in that game

in spite of everything it is said,

as there's nothing greater

than sisterhood, than fellowship

between two women.

/eitem/

Because many women still die,

but to the end they fight for their right

sometimes to just remain alive.

Because some women try hard

to fulfulfill their everyday tasks

without even being recognised.

That's why I felt so driven

by the strength of all women,

by their sorority,

by their dignity.

This poem is for you and I.

This gift of mine is today for us,

for us to embrace our souls

on a new March the eighth.
