Independent Woman
I stand alone
No one around to hear my pleas, I’m
Derived from a place unknown by any other.
Everywhere I go I feel their
Painfully stabbing
Eyes in my back.
No I’m not alone just
Decidedly
Absent.
Never will
Today be as tomorrow
Will be.
Only my chains keep
Me at bay.
An answer to your question is
Not alone am I, but independent.
