The Submissive Woman
They told me - You are Woman
.....Go out and conquer the world
They said - be strong
.....Don't betray your Sisters
You don't need a man
You are sufficient unto yourself
They told me 'submissive' is wrong
.....and degrading
..........that I need bow to no man
I lived that truth
Strong, Independent, Intelligent, Capable, In Charge, In Control......
Until - a new truth
You told me - you are woman
.....Go out and conquer the world
..........Then come home and sit at my feet
You said - come to me in strength
.....and I will protect you
..........and celebrate your strength
You said - kneel before me
.....give me your woman's body for my pleasure
and I will raise you from kneeling
.....to heights you never imagined
You said - let me into those locked rooms
.....give me access
Trust Me with every part of you
.....and I will treasure it all
You said - there are more truths in this world,
.....and revealed them to me
and because of you
.....I am forever changed
