Here I stand
What you see
Is a woman
This outer me
When I cry
Some call me weak
But when you do
It’s me you seek
When I fight
Some call me witch
But when you do
It is rich
When I scream
You call me mad
And when you do
It’s me that’s bad
When I sigh
You attack my patience
But breath from you
Demands my presence
When I work hard
You command more
When you do this
I must adore
When I speak
You do not listen
Words from you
I need permission
When I tell you
How I feel
You find something
Else to reveal
When I feel low
You barely notice
When you do
You always show this
When you meet me
You don’t acknowledge
When I meet you
It’s like in college
When I ask why
You say because
But when you do
We get new laws
When I give love
You disembark
When you do
To me it’s dark
When I challenge
You fight back
But when you do
It’s my attack
When I say fair
You look away
But when you do
I have to pay
When I think
You are impatient
But when from you
It’s most important
When I add value
You barter this
Make it your own
You are priceless
When I celebrate
You look elsewhere
But when you do
I have to care
When I give birth
You claim the name
But birth you can’t
We aren’t the same
When you see me
This woman here
There is no justice
When you add fear
When I succeed
You can’t ignore
That I was equal
Maybe more
Because...
I am a woman
In this form
I’m equal to you
And this I warn
What you can’t see
In my importance
You needed me
For your existence
The birth of you
And that of me
All have the right
Of the dignity
To see this true
As a law
Every human
Equal for all
All us humans
That ever be
All have in common
What is for free
To every woman
And man you see
There is a slight
Inequality
How you look
At me somehow
A sad injustice
The world right now
Right is wrong
If it’s not good
A challenged heart
Not understood
So look again
Answer the truth
Can you admit
It starts in youth
Do you know how
Can you make change
What’s in the world
Needs to exchange

“There is no given gender
Within the inner soul
And now you will remember
A woman told you so!”
#Opism
I am not biased
Nor accusing
Only stating
My observing
I am a deep thinker, lover of thoughts, a prolific writer sharing my words.
In sharing I am caring. I am a member of the human race with an appetite to motivate, inspire, empower and provoke thinking. I stand for dignity in humanity.
I am compelled to a vision that we are all here for a reason, life is like a deck of cards...
“My cards. My deal. Life is learning the game!” #opism
What is OPISM?
I have come up with this term as my nick name is Op and they are my own quotes representing a moral doctorine belief system. Thus...Op+ism=Opism. #opism
My Motto! “Dignity is Free”
How I live...Embracing Dignity
My professional experience is disbursed across industries from financial services and sales to that of personal and emergency care.
As one who has trained and coached, mentored and taught; it has become a passion within to witness and feel joy in the achievement and success of others that I have been associated with.
I am a lifelong learner and have created and facilitated various training materials.
It is through such experience that I discovered the power of positive feedback in both professional and personal manners. I am self disciplined, accountable, determined, humble, loyal and adaptive; but above all I value my integrity! I am a decent human being.
It is with my greatest pleasure to share with others the power of positive words.
