I am no man!


I am woman, hear me roar,

Breath fire, wipe minds, tear asunder

This world that was built on innocent blood

Of women, children, difference plundered.

Where woman tread, no man should. 

I am woman, watch me soar,

Above expectations given

Only sweat of the brow

And blisters risen

Wish tormentors could see me now.

I am woman, listen to me teach,

The children of the next generation.

That manners prevail, so will

Hatred, pain, and descrimination.

These things they need to kill.

I am woman, no man am I,

An Artist's hand, I hold the future

The brush reveals whispers, dreams,

I am more than given by nature

I am woman, and more than I seem.
