I am a Bryn Mawr Woman

But I am not a Bryn Mawr Woman

I am a woman

But I am not a Bryn Mawr Woman

I am not a woman

But I am a feminist

I am a woman but I am not a feminist

My body is a temple

My mind is a throne

The altar of which has been desecrated as a commodity

My body is a canvas

But the media is not mine

My body is a long journey to embark upon

A discovery to discover and be discovered

I am the cradle that rocks the world

I am the middle passage to be endured

I am the backbone transformed from a rib

I am the oven and the pulse

I am to blame for your fall and your rise

I am behind you, beside you, and around you

I am the aim behind your bow

I am the precision behind your seams

I am the stability that you seek

I am the independence that you declare

I am the engine behind your flight

And the pilot of my own.

Flawless.

Imperfect.

Human.
