Independent Woman ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In a world that shouts “self-sufficient” and “alone”
An independent woman’s true colors become known
She’s not defined by possessions or a partner’s embrace
Rather by being secure, grounded, she’s an emblem of grace

Her heart remains open, not locked off in fear
For she knows not all men’s motives are insincere
With confidence within, she stands tall
She knows whose she is, her identity won’t fall

Grounded in faith, she walks a path of light
Living with integrity, choosing what’s right
She doesn’t bend to fit the crowd’s trend
Her trust is grounded in God, that will never end

A real woman she is, no pretense, no masks she wears
Transparent and true, big-hearted love she shares
Her joy and purpose emanate from within
Not reliant on others for whole-life living to begin

To all the misunderstood independent women, we say,
Embrace love, let stereotypes die right away
For being independent is not about being boss
Not at the expense of the true you being lost

So stand up and standout, unabashed and free
Love and lean on a man, if that’s your decree
For an independent woman is strong enough to just be
To receive love, to give love, and still be a mystery

    Powerful prose that supports that woman are truly God’s gift. I am so happy that man found his perfect companion woman, through the creator God, and he said it was very good.

    1. Ive been called a alpha female for many of the points I wrote in the ”brave poem” and because “I don’t run in a pack” as I’ve been told. So this is one of those ‘drawn from my life experiences’ poem.
