I’ve had zippers up my back
And sashes tied behind
I’ve had sharp toes
And pointed heels
And didn’t even mind
Elastic traps and hooks and straps
Because I sought to find
The woman who I was
The woman who I was
I’ve had soft skirts that twirl and swirl
And blouses loose and silk
I have let
My my toes uncurl
And hair pour down like milk
I have unbuttoned
And unbound
I’ve come unfastened
And unwound
And as I did
I think I found
The woman who I am
The woman who I am
