Lipstick & Sneakers Word: Poetry Chapbooks

She paints her journey to womanhood
with love, pride and hope.
Parts of her painting are muddied from
crawling,
falling,
struggling.

In this pursuit to womanhood
She expresses
her grief,
her anger,
her self-love.
Layer by layer of experience, she discovers true strength, power and love.

This is the journey of a woman learning to love herself and others unconditionally.
