To Be A Woman (Blaga Dimitrova)

It hurts to be a woman.
It pains when she becomes
A girl, a beloved, a mother.

But the most unbearable
suffering on the earth is
of a woman who does not
know these sufferings.

Note: This is based on another English translation
of a Bulgarian Poem by Blaga Dimitrova here
