inspirational poems

I came across this website and I really like the poems.  They're very empowering and....true.  I especially like the poem called "I am a Woman" by Melin W.  It talks about not underestimating women and how they do contribute to the world "in life, in death, in famines and war".  Her poem also goes on about how age has give her wrinkles for being a survivor, and how with age she has learned that self-confidence is sex appeal.  The reason I like this poem is because it puts a positive spin on aging and its a very empowering piece of literature.  You can read the poem yourself on

I would also recommend reading the other poems.  Each one talks about a different aspect of being a women and have their own voice.

  1. These poems are definitely empowering. I feel like they would be good to read for a simple confidence booster. Girls should be excited to grow up and age and live their life to the fullest. Not sit around worrying about wrinkles and the 'negatives' of growing old.
