I Won't Apologize for Being a Woman

By Zorina Exie Jerome

I Wont Apologize for Being A Woman is a compilation of poetic testimonies from a feminine standpoint using urban Christian ideology. In addition to questioning the 21st century church, Jerome boldly confronts real issues that most women struggle with as a Christian which according to Jerome, are grossly overlooked. From subjects on dating to male/female friendships, I Wont Apologize for Being A Woman unveils shocking scenarios that end with a profound resolution on how to cope with it. Men will have a better understanding of a womans viewpoint. Women will be enlightened to re-evaluate their worth. This book is designed to be voice of clout for anybody who can identify with being rejected or misunderstood. It speaks to men and women of all nationalities.

Its time to collect, recollect and come correct.
I bet if I keep this thing up, somethings got to give cause
I already gave what I like
Its like, my life so,
in the midst of these dilemmas, I stay chill like simmer.
Hip to the bull but never getting pulled into it.
Whos game is tighter?
Im still standing. Im a fighter. I
survive the phony, overcoming insecurity.
Im going to make you love me.
Success is not an option. Its a being.
Its time to collect, recollect and come correct.
Turn the negative into the positive.
Whats wrong, into the opposite.
Making material and spiritual deposits.
Uplifting the gift by using the 5th.
Freedom of speech. Freedom to be me.
Freedom to pursue life abundantly but pardon me.
Abundance and abuse seem to have fused,
leaving some confused. It takes two. To
make a thing go right in this inner city and suburban
plight. Arise!
Out of problematic distraction that can avoid
dynamic contractions of a birthing of something new.
Ideas. Strategies.
Plan on you being apart of it. Engage and embrace it.
Success and notoriety.
Appreciation and commendation. Brushing off
agitation of people hating.
If you want it, you got it. But
youve got to fight for it. I tell you,
Its time to collect, recollect and come correct.
For our weapons arent physical.
There biblical.

Your Sister

What’s up?

How have you been?

I can tell you have been through a lot. You may not know me very well but, I can tell because,

I’m your sister.

You may think I don’t understand. That I can not comprehend God’s plan for you. True. Because nobody can understand you but The Almighty. Feisty becomes your attitude when you get in the mood where you need to meditate. So, I leave you to pray and make no mistake, I’ll show my love because,

I’m your sister.

I may not understand your business sense, or your personal life but, I understand your appetite for The Spirit. God bless you and your generation seven times down if creation is still in exist, if God permits. I say this in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. I’m trying to forget what is materialistic. Trying to get ready for The Kingdom made of gold. The one where all new things are made from old. Aren’t you ready to go?

You may not know me but I’ll tell you this: my faith may be the size of a mustard seed. Yet, I see some of what you see and you see some of what I see.

Don’t you know, we’re trying to form Christ as a whole? Trying to testify how we gained our might in these last days. We’re coming together like crusades. Trying to warn our mothers and fathers to prepare their sons and daughters for that great meteor shower along with the moans and hollers.
