I Am SHE (for Women’s Day) 

Poem by Butch Decatoria 

 

I am she 

Who compliments & completes The dream-lover and wishes Made when he is asleep. 

I am she 

 

Who suffers the most, 

Giving birth, cradling ghosts, 

As the crone or maid, 

(Once and always) 

Sister, mother, daughter, wife.  

 

I am she 

Who waits through the night. 

I am she 

Who equals the strength Of his light. 

 

"See me with your loving eyes, 

See me more than the tears I've cried!" 

 

I am she 

Who is willing 

To go with him to war, 

Not a man but as an equal, 

(I'm both soft yet hard) 

I am she 

To whom he'll give his heart 

I am the tunnel's bright end 

I am where 

The family starts, 

The breast which nurse small men. 

 

I am she 

The twin, 

The Juliet, 

The Goddess divine! 

I am she 

Who deserves the same in life, and for all time. 

(Peace be…) 

I am she 

I am you 

I am her 

I am the one besides 

And inside 

She is I… 

The romance in the dress, 

Patient Partner to the ends, 

Tiny dancer on the floor 

I am 

The one that loves you Forever & Evermore.
