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.
