A woman's biggest flaw...

***

I was on my usual YouTube adventures when i came across what I think is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever heard. I might have missed a couple of things in the lyrics so feel free to point that out. I believe a woman's biggest flaw is that she forgets her worth. Won't say much about it because Rudy Francisco says it all. In just under 3 minutes he sends across a veeerrryyyy powerful message.  So "this is for the strong women" and a reminder to the rest.

Enjoy!!!

"You are the prefix to our first breath. And you breathe sunshine on days that are darker than the Great Depression. You whisper floodlight when rolling blackouts disconnect the power to our dreams. You see men, we are like towers erected over crowded streets. Women, you are like the steel beams in the building that hold us in place, but often, we forget that we can’t stand without you. 

Sometimes, we just don’t remember that you hold the key that opens the entrance to the earth. We openly worship these earthly things instead of the gate keeper that open the door to let us in. So this poem is for the strong women. 

This is for every woman who knows that it’s far better to be single than have a man that will never understand your worth. This… This is for the women who are not afraid to cut a man loose if he’s not doing his job. This… This is for the women who get hated on by girls with insecurities tattooed to their faces. Sweetheart, they hate you. They hate you because their confidence is crippled. They got handicapped thoughts and self esteem has never, ever, ever been any compliant. This is for the strong women. 

This is for the women who will never dance half naked in a hip-hop video because they understand how sacred their bodies are. This… This is for the women who look in the mirror and see the closest thing on this earth to God. I said this, is for the women who remind me of my mother. 

Remember, this world wasn’t built for you. So if need be, you tear it to the ground, resurrect it in your image, and make sure it’s just as beautiful... As you are."
