I Am Who I Am, So Deal With It

I am who I am, 

so deal with it. 

I am female. 

So am I supposed to be a wife? 

Am I supposed to give into a man's every command? 

Am I supposed to keep my mouth shut? 

Well, no! I won't do it. 

I am who I am, 

so deal with it. 

I won't give in. My voice will be heard. 

I am my own person. 

When people refer to me they won't say "Oh, that's his wife" 

They'll say, "That's the girl who won't keep her mouth shut"

And why should I keep my mouth shut?

I am who I am, 

so deal with it. 

If the world's heart is still aching then I won't keep my mouth shut.

Human trafficking. Sexism. Poverty. Racism. 

The problems are endless. 

So if you expect me to stay quiet because I'm a female,

you better expect me to have a response.

I am who I am,

so deal with it.
