Self Discovery



Woman does not need man
Her own strength and fire
she easily commands
To help her conquer
day by day
man made obstacles
in her way
She is Nature
Powerful and Wild
Beautiful, Unpredictable
Wise and Mild
Her pleasures are created
by her seemingly delicate hand
Her destructiveness controlled
by a promise to hurt no man
All woman needs
is herself.

One morning I woke up and felt, well, frisky. After bringing a smile to my face, I realized that the time I spent with myself was more satisfying than the clumsy experiences I was having at the time in my early twenties. It was like when my friends told me about how great a movie was and then I couldn't wait to see it. When I finally did, it wasn't as great as I had expected. Then I started to think about how distracted I had become once I started having sex.

Instead of focusing on my education and walking around feeling confident, I had allowed myself to think that my value was related to how often I was having sex. This was disturbing to me since I had always valued how smart, and capable I was.

I became angry with myself. How had I allowed this to happen? Inside my head I screamed, "Forget about men and sex! Remember the power of being a smart, capable woman free from the idiocy and distractions of the mainstream! There is nothing a man can do for you that you can't do yourself - even in the bedroom!"
