Independent Woman

I stand alone

No one around to hear my pleas, I’m

Derived from a place unknown by any other.

Everywhere I go I feel their

Painfully stabbing

Eyes in my back.

No I’m not alone just

Decidedly

Absent.

Never will

Today be as tomorrow

 

Will be.

Only my chains keep

Me at bay.

An answer to your question is

Not alone am I, but independent.
