She Knows Her Beauty

Subjugate in silence, or confront your resistance.

Photograph by Jessica Ryan

I see her beauty, within her radiating truth. Powerful woman.

Covering her skin. War paint disguised seduction. Original sin.

Casting off her chains, shaped in historical shame. Judgment’s played their game.

Courage given voice. Society burns her choice. Alone, she will stand.

Challenging control, equalities false promise. Independence lies.

Show them! They are blind! Words don’t match their compromise. She speaks emotion.

Guilty of her life, hiding deep scars on her skin. Vulnerable strength.
