The Woman Within
A rondel poem
Aug 1, 2021
Why do I fear her, this woman within?
So desperate to destroy dark parts of me,
I pray for perfection I’ll never reach
so silently I sit, subdued again.
No secret seduction, the same old sins
dare I defy the devils offerings?
Why do I fear her, the woman within?
So desperate to destroy dark parts of me…
But what if instead I chose to forgive?
What if kindness towards myself was the key,
could I embrace who I am entirely?
It’s time now to pursue new perspective-
So why should I fear this woman within?
