I am a woman
I am a woman...
For I have brought life into this world.
I am a woman...
Because my soul is alight with fire.
Protector.
Lover.
Mother.
Fierceness... I know the power I hold.
Fight.
I will not cower. For this is my life. My fate is mine alone. For this means I make it.
There is no chance. Just choice.
Feminine.
Courageous.
So much love to give.
Impenetrable.
Loyalty.
Beauty is only skin deep.
I am a woman because a woman raised me so.
