I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

I am a woman standing alone

Against the walls that keep me in

So high that I am unable to climb

Unable to reach the sky

Or feel the sun dust my lips

I am a woman breaking free

From the chains that bind me

The whips that break me

And hold me down until I

Am one with the ***** wet ground

I am a woman running fast

From your lightening strikes

And your throwing knives

I will no longer be your target practice

Your whipping girl

Or your excuse to roll your eyes

I am a woman laughing loudly

At your sick, sad life

At your pathetic existence

Because you must now reap what you sew

You must live with your broken body

And your tired mistakes

I am a woman dancing wildly

With happiness

And power

With purpose

And with strength

That you cannot hold or have

Because it’s all mine baby

And I finally got it back from you
