Woman

I am a woman,
I wear a unique scent of feminine flaws,
Odor is not overwhelming, but inviting,
I am covered with different emotions,
Hysterical, pathetic, and vulnerable,
That's my nature.
I am a woman,
I hold the most pleasant weapon "woman instinct"
I can be intimate, ca be frigid, it depends on his mood.
I date, hug and torridly kiss only the man I love.
Practical ambition, a fairty tale life. 
I am a woman
I'm perfectly cool, paranoid in most times,
Ironically tough yet emotionally weak,
Basically naive if pretending to be, 
I am a woman, I am desirable,
Today,Tomorrow and Everyday,

Graham, that line encapsulates a nuanced view of femininity. 😃, I wanted to write the positive side only but nah, will be heavy to depend on the argument. 😊

"a unique scent of feminine flaws," is a great line!
