Every Woman

Every Woman

She sits there in silent tears,

just waiting for someone to care;

She is every woman.

She'll cross her feet, draw up her knees,

drowning insecurities;

She is every woman.

Wounds from the past turn into scars,

wonder how she got this far;

She is every woman.

Fear of who she is or who she'll be,

prevent her from admitting need;

She is every woman.

From deep inside, release a sigh,

and watch the others walk on by;

She is every woman.

Walls thick and strong protect her heart,

or maybe just keep us apart;

She is every woman.

Alert aware, eyes open wide,

Just maybe you can see inside

The others that are passing by,

Glimmers of tears sit within their eyes.

They too have fears, and scars and needs,

You're not the only one who bleeds.
They hide it well behind the mask;

Next time she passes, please just ask.
For she is every woman!

*Dedicated to all the women who feel alone on this journey - who feel they are the only ones with messes - you are a part of every woman. You are known. You are loved. You are delighted in. (Zephaniah 3:17)
