Womanhood
by Katelyn Smith

There are things about being a woman
That make the suffering worth it
The little glimmers of hope

Not the looks from creepy men
Or the fear of being assaulted
And the cop asking
What were you wearing and
Why didn’t you?
Not fitting societies' standards
And not your first heartbreak being your father

But the little glimmers of hope that make up for it;

The connection you have with your girlfriends
While you sit in comfortable silence
Soaking up each other’s warmth
Knowing the darkest parts of each other
And understanding

The little glimmers of hope
Make this life endurable
