You are a Goddesses of the Earth. Except, you either don't know it or don't believe you are. So the question becomes --- why don't you? What makes you think otherwise? The world relies on you; the woman is the genesis of all life on Earth. You populate humanity with children to continue building and ensuring its survival. You conquered the hardships of being denied equal standing to mankind for centuries.
And even now, you must continue to excel and overcome an ocean of engrained suppression, as you remain perpetually misunderstood and neglected in a world that ferociously demands more and more from you. Your soul, your mind and your love is constantly being dispensed across the globe, because there is never a lack of demand. In fact, your resources, your body and spirit are always in demand...
I need children! Says the man.
I need food! Says the child.
The world throws empty palms in your face, expecting their needs and requirements to be satisfied. And to this end, you are taken for granted. Mankind is assured of your continued obedience due to your unquestionable sacrifice to humanity... But who cares for the woman? Who acknowledges the goddesses of the Earth, because of whom the globe spins continually. Who comforts the goddess when her love is depleted and she requires her spirit to be energized? And even still, during these dark moments where you are drowning in the weight of exhaustion, they have their hands out...
More children! Says the man.
More food! Says the child.
You are breathless; you are tired and weak, as every drop of sweat and tears you selflessly handed over to humanity. And yet, mankind is never quenched, never satisfied. Your spirit is bleeding, and the wounds grow larger as the demands grow louder and more urgent... Even while on the ground, helpless and distraught, you stretch your own hand out and fill the requirements of every man and child. They take without giving thanks, stuff their face with your love and affection and quickly hurry back for more. You replenish them endlessly...
But who replenishes you? Who takes care of the goddess inside you...?
There is not a creature in the cosmos more powerful than the woman, not a soul more sincere... Not a day more brighter.
Be proud and be brave. The world cannot function, cannot survive without its goddesses carrying the weight of its existence on their backs. Although eternally ungrateful, although painfully reliant, you suffer the demands of the world because your body and spirit are the Genesis of creation. You care for the world when it refuses to care back.
You are the light that continues to shine in the shadows of an undeserving humanity.
