They said- “you can’t do it.”
I did the same, even better.
They said- “don’t go there; it’s dark enough.”
They said- “don’t you dare move along with us.”
I became the light myself and went right through.
They said- “you can’t laugh so loud.”
I laughed my heart out, even when I cried within.
I spread my wings and flew over the ocean & through the skies across.
They said- “don’t go alone; they will harm you.”
I travelled across space, around the earth too.
They said- “you are so weak; a girl never argues.”
I went out to wrestle and gave them tough blues.
They said- “you lack life, are so dead inside.”
I became a mother & gave life to a life with pride.
They say, say and always say-
I am a woman, a light, a power, a will and a creator.
Not bound by their laws,
Not tied in their chains,
Maybe a little weak,
But have the will to shift mountains.
I may be a little imperfect,
But have the courage,
To show them all that-
The world I embrace,
The dreams I chase,
The spirit I encase-
It can make the world always more perfect.
