PIECES OFF A WOMAN

By Hedda Tady

Pieces Off a Woman

What the world may never know
Is how, with every armor shed
A piece of our skin goes
A piece of ourselves gone

Never to return.

With every struggle surmounted
We dig our graves a little deeper
Closer to our Maker
Farther from all pains

Whether friend or foe
Pieces of ourselves, we give
For that is the world’s design
Pieces off a woman

We stayed home
We starve
So we join the melee
We race against men.

We win. We lose.
Pieces off a woman.

Our bodies, tired
Our spirits, torn
Stand, we must
Pieces off a woman.

Seek quiet, you say? 
Be peaceful.
A smile, we offer
Inside, we unravel.

By the world’s design
Everyday
We take pieces off
All women.

*SHARE THE LOVE : stay tuned for details of a project that benefits women who survived challenging life experiences and are housed and/or supported in a place of LOVE.
