A Woman On Purpose is Not Ashamed!
She is not ashamed of who she is
Of where she has come from
Of what she looks like
Of where she wants to go
She is not ashamed of the colour of her skin
Of the what she wears
Of the size or shape of her dreams
Of her place in this world
She is not ashamed of her beliefs
Of what she used to believe
Of what she has learnt
Of what she chooses to believe now
She is not ashamed of her actions
She has made mistakes
She has forgiven them
She will move on
She is not ashamed of her body
It is her temple, and no one else's
It holds her hopes and dreams and expectations
It holds her footprint and her soul
She is not ashamed of her mind
It is the endless source of her imagination
It is the creator of her today's and her tomorrow's
She just tries to keep it kind
She is not ashamed of your judgment of her
She lives in a place of beauty that is perfect for her
She respects your place of beauty too
She will carry peace in her heart
She is not ashamed of herself anymore
She dabbles in shame and then realises
That if she really wants to leave a legacy of kindness, compassion and harmony
Then she must throw it to wind
Her world needs her
To do her best
No matter what she has done
No matter what mistakes she will make
No matter what anyone else says about her
She will not be stopped by shame any longer
She will always have those she can not please
She will continue to work from a place she loves
To share her love
She has Purpose
