Standing Defiant

Standing on her own two feet, defiant She looks you in the eye challenging, try it She’s stubborn and proud, unyielding and brave Vocal in her opinions and never afraid She is Rebel, queen of the wronged Black satin wings and remarkably strong Her eyes of knowing seek only the lies The truth she dispels, the source of the sighs Tell her what’s right and she will prove them all false She shakes up the core and quickens the pulse She breaths in darkness but also the light She’s neutral territory that stalks through the night Seeking only what is proved to be wrong No matter the consequences, she follows the song For she is Rebel, contradictory extraordinaire It is within her nature, where the faults lay bare.
