Yes, I am a woman
strong and fearless
not soft and tender.
I don’t lie, for I am a woman
brave and bold
not afraid and cold.
I don’t cry, for I am a woman
a phenomenal one
not an insignificant pun.
I don’t annoy, for I am a woman
more subtle and quiet
not garrulous and clamorous.
I am not a tattler, for I am a woman
a little more wise
a little less belies.
I am not a fashionist, for I am a woman
more erudite and thinker
not stolid and sinker.
I don’t step back, for I am a woman
always ahead and decisive
and least bit derisive.
Yes, I am a woman
more proud than ever
more glorious forever.
