I am the highway
spreading my wings upon heated asphalt
Flying free from shame and disrespect
I say who I can be
I am woman, no man can keep me
No lover may tell me I am theirs
I give what I take, I am not selfish
For I am the highway
I travel the distance
determined to find my own way
I am the street paved in stone
each pebble is mine to take..not yours
what is mine is mine...what is yours is mine
you do not know.. that
the road you must follow to get to my heart
is the highway
This is my life
I am my own savior.. my own wind song
never forget that I am me
my life is a highway... if you wanna ride
you must first submiss
for I am the tole you must pass
I am the gift, not what lay between my thighs..
NO.. I am the surprise.
love me for who I must be.. understand
that I am the dirt that leads to the gate
I am the bridge upon the water
I am what keeps you sane
I AM the highway..
do not speed by without asking;
where does this go.. how do I get there?
for you know.. that to understand me is to see
I am the only road to take
I am the stairway to heaven..
I am the light in the window you seek
the trail across the desert sand
the leaves that fall in autumn breeze
I am the one
who will lead you to the unknown
on the highway to my soul
Author notes

I remember this poem of yours!
A wonderfully uplifting piece with
a gorgeous and unique background.
If only such a staircase like this
existed. I love the message that you
send out here. Very powerful and meaningful
write my dear friend.
I love these lines:
"I am the stairway to heaven..
I am the light in the window you seek
the trail across the desert sand
the leaves that fall in autumn breeze
I am the one who will lead you to
the unknown on the highway to my soul."
Thank you very much for your entry here.
I appreciate it and wish you the best of luck
with it in my contest!

Awesome write about the freedom to express who you really are and that you are possessed by no-one. great write to fit the picture, but without it it's equally superb.

A song for women to embrace...
EXCELLENT!

truth in beauty, beauty in truths.
as free-verse as your life is fre!!! I agree, after all, isn't that really what freedom is? Knowing our true selves and not languishing in what others may feel about us? beautifully conveyed, and I say go with it!!!!! Be everything, you expect of yourself and not what others think.

"love me for who I must be.. understand
that I am the dirt that leads to the gate
I am the bridge upon the water
I am what keeps you sane
I AM the highway.. "
you are all this...and so much more....
This is very empowering...very intense.
A woman is a universe by itself...
she can take you places, and show you what you can never experience elsewhere....
This is outstanding!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!

Beautiful write. I liked the line no man can keep me the best. It makes me think of the old conventional ways of marriage and how it seems old fashioned nowadays. This seemed full of strength and independence throughout the piece. Keep up the great writes and good luck in the contest.
