I’m 5’9”, loud and strong. 
 I’ve got big hair, perfect brows and a straight back. 
I radiate confidence, sexuality and metaphorical ***** as my curvy hourglass figure walks with purpose down the street. 
My attitude says “There’s nothing I can not do.”
 My eyes say “You wanna fight? I’m ready.”
 To them, I’m a lioness. 
 I protect all that is mine — except from myself. 
 Behind the facade, I am small. 
 Behind my words, I am afraid. 
 Behind my sunglasses, my eyes are wet. 
 And under my luxury lingerie, I am naked, just like my soul is when I’m writing. 
I’m not who they think I am, are you?
