I am a woman.
I am not soft, I will fight back.
I will not be oppressed.
I am a woman.
I am human, I am alive.
There is blood in my veins;
I am no puppet made only to be displayed.
I am a woman.
I have my own wills, I have my own desires.
I will dye my hair red to embody the fire.
Fire that burns, thrives, prevails,
fire that lives inside me.
–I will out burn even the sun itself.
I am a woman.
I am strong and I am large,
and I too, contain multitudes.
I will defy even the universe itself if I had to.
I am woman.
I am not made of man.
neither sand nor ash nor to dust shall I return.
I am made of my own systems,
and when I die, I will shake the heavens.
And I am a woman.
I will not be destroyed.
not by anyone, not by you.
(remember that I am perfectly capable of that,
all by myself.)
