Sailboat

A poem for the refugee.

A dream. 
A whisper.
A feeble prayer.

I lay on my back and let the waves overtake me. Lying on a beach somewhere across the sea.  Floating. I am at peace. Where is the sailboat to take me? To guide me home?

We Are Women.

To all the "Relationship goal" women out there. 

Brave and beautiful, beyond our makeup, and fashion sense.
We are not insecure. 
We are strong. Courageous and independent.
We don't need someone to be fulfilled, but instead find fulfillment in making a difference, in being who we are. I mean... let's face it. Independence is sexy. 
Don't just stare into your computer screen, envying your friends marriages and pregnancies, for what seems to be the perfect life is anything but perfect.
So get off the couch and shut down facebook, there are places to see.
Finish college and get that degree. Finish high school and focus on art.
We women are not just future wives, but will shape the future with our brains and not our looks, (although intelligence looks damn good on us ;))
We are women that succeed with intelligence.
Not just in books but every kind. 
To know the world open-mindedly. To see cultures. To travel... alone.
We are women.
