I am a woman

I'm a storm, I'm a breeze.

I can blow you or make you freeze.

I am a tree that can stand the hurricane

Of pressures of the kind of 'men'.

Cause I'm a woman.

I am a human with a brain.

I am a human with dreams

And more than a face with creams.

I can scream, I can shout

Beauty is not all I'm about.

I can be tough like a rock

And alert like a hawk.

I can be sweet like a chocolate

Or the astronaut in the next rocket.

I stand strong even though whipped.

I still hope though wings are clipped.

I can be bold, I can be rowdy

Cause sir, I ain't no lady.

I am a woman with opinions

Not a toady or one of the minions.

Cage me all you want

Starve me till I am gaunt.

I will still rise and I will shine

Free myself from daft societal twine.

I am a woman with ambitions

That lives in an endless forest of restrictions.

But that will not stop me

From forming a world where I can be free.
