I Will
Born a female destined to insanity.
No means for a career or an education,
No intentions to receieve respect,
But I will.
Grew up a girl.
Can't play like a boy,
Will never be as good as them,
But I will.
As a young lady,
I'm told to act "lady-like",
Be seen and not heard,
But I won't.
I will be as good as anyone else.
I will be respected.
I will be heard.
I will be a woman.
And you can not be a "man",
Without (w/o) your woman.
