Women and I, or Bare

I am becoming larger
Is great following good?

I’ve let Yin nurture my soul
Is it time for Yang to step out?

I am enough, I’m good, I’m great
Is there a shortcut to self-respect?

A woman’s life is not for me to follow
Will bitter evolve into sweet and fragrant?

I’m finding my way on the rock-strewn path
Can a woman’s love stay forever deep and rich?

The answers lie in me, and are born everyday
What I need now is to eat myself slimmer
