Eleven Minutes… I am…

 

Poem from Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"………….

For I am the first and the last

I am venerated and the despised

I am the prostitute and the saint

I am the wife and the virgin

I am the mother and the daughter

I am the arms of my mother

I am barren and my children are many

I am the married women and the spinster

I am the women who give birth and she who never procreated

I am the consolidation for the pain of birth

I am the wife and the husband

And it was my man who created me

I am the mother of my father

I am the sister of my husband

And he is my rejected son

Always respect me

For I am the shameful and the magnificent one
