For You I Write

Inspired by Jane Austin


To fully think for oneself should be a blessing,
Not a curse or a hindrance
To fully accept the truth that a brain is far better than beauty always.
However, this concept cannot seem to grip the masses of society.
We are constantly choked by our own hands at the expectations
That are centuries old.
What woman truly aspires to be a subservient wife to a man who may love her,
but rarely appreciates her worth.
What woman truly aspires to cast away every dream she danced to as a child, to bare children that will be persuaded to follow the same suit as she.
Though these things are wondrous gifts of life - love, marriage, children, motherhood - but how many sit in bed dreaming of this future at the ripe age of 6 or 10.
Most women dream of lives filled with passion, love, acceptance, beauty, and above all intelligence.
To be considered and appreciated, not by the stigmas of society to what is beautiful and what is not.
But to be acknowledged by her wit, charm, tongue, and thought.
Why can this concept not prevail?
What is so threatening of a woman with free thought and free spirit to enjoy the life the Divine has blessed her with?
To every woman who dares think for yourself and stand up for what she believes in and to never settle for anything less than deserving...
I write for you.
