A favorite of mines…..

A Woman’s Liberation

I grew up awhile back

and took off my tight jeans

and those other little, skimpy things

to liberate my body.

I put away my

old love letters

from long gone boyfriends

to liberate my heart.

I discarded my false notions of

how young girls should act

in male dominated societies

to liberate my mind.

I dared to picture myself a heaven,

so that I could reach

for a better tomorrow

to liberate my soul.

And then I flew

far away

like a bird

in no cage.

I'm sure by now you guys can see I am a huge fan of Omar Tyree. 

This poem is my absolute favorite.

It came from the book For the Love of Money 

The following book after Fly Girl

[Great books by the way]

I began writing poetry because of this book.

It has helped me grow as a writer over the pass eight years

If you haven't you should take the time out to read it because it's really good. 

SN:  I hope you enjoyed the poem. I thought every woman could relate to this poem because I sure did
