I am Woman, Hear Me Roar!

Wed, 11/12/2014 - 18:38 -- DomiG

Cut me, I bleed

Push me, I fall

Try to belittle me, but I’ll rise above them all

I fight with words heavy with thought

I kill all my demons with two stones and one shot

I can't waste time being afraid 

I stand up tall and can't be swayed

I'll be dammed if I let you rain on my parade 

'Cuz it's quite clear who runs this game 

Call me cocky and overconfident

I'll just take that as a compliment

That shows I am competent-

To take my place as dominant

Being a woman has taught me that I need to be strong

In order to fight the hardships and troubles that comes along

Being second to men is no longer endurable

I have been infected with power and I’m afraid it’s incurable

To think I would give up my claim to success-

All because I have a pair of breast  

Is completely insane and I shall not digress

I thrive for greatness because I deserve it

My aims are set high because I know I am worth it
