Emily asks me write a poem about women

It must be about women
How they are strong
And selfless
And self-giving

Self sufficient
Free
Principled

She is that woman
She must write that herself

She can always do it.

To me strong women
Are not written
They are not for writing
They are made
Self-made in fact
They do not ask me to write about them
