What I Am


Who can say what I will be?

A successful woman? A wannabe?

Who can say I have no direction,

When this world has lost the meaning of affection,

Who determines my wants and needs,

When all our idols are full of greed.

Everything according to their own,

No one has courage to stand alone.

How can I be a woman of courage,

If everything I believe in is discouraged?
