I am a strong, independent woman Let me repeat myself You obviously weren’t listening I am a strong independent woman Regardless of the words you are telling me that "the sky's the limit" When i know i can reach for the stars But your actions are holding me back like gravity A force meant to be defied And I will defy your disrespect, mistreatment and misunderstanding I am strong because I am not afraid to break a nail To get down and dirty In fact I will claw, punch and kick my way through your barriers to lead to the top of it all To my destiny I will break the chains of social injustice that restrict me from reaching my dreams and aspirations I will break free from the cage of your gender stereotypes I may be a woMAN, a feMALE but you will no longer define me I am a strong, independent woman I am independent because I defy those old Disney princess fantasies You see, I will stop my wicked witch, slay my dragon, and still have time to run my kingdom I don't need prince charming to save me And i wont be defined by my shoe size I am independent because I can think for myself I don't need Cosmo, 17 nor Vogue to tell me how to dress I don't need the media to tell me how to look I don't live in the Malibu Dream House I don't come with accessories I will never be Barbie She's perfect plastic and fake fantasies While I'm the real deal I am more than what you see I am more than my face I am strong because i can bleed for 5 days and 4 nights and only get so much as a cramp I can endure the pain of my body being ripped open just to give birth And underneath all the screams and blood splatter is a woman turned into a mother I am more than my body I am a temple that deserves respect I am brought by Adam But made HERstory by Eve And none shall enter my garden I am not a tool for your pleasure I am not your servant, maid or chef I won't fix your breakfast I won't make your bed My many uses aren't to be used by you Don't call me baby, or babe Do not undermine me For I am powerful beyond belief I am a strong, independent woman I am strong because I am connected to my inner being my spiritual surroundings and with life all around Yes, I may live in my emotions sometimes, and you may scrutinize my expression But I can walk with my head held high and a smile on my face I have a voice I have mind I have a soul None of which you can control I will strike you down with my very last breath Never hesitating to become the woman i'm meant to be I am strong and independent I am woman
