I Am a Woman
I am a woman
I’m not fragile
I’m not made of stone either
I may be likened to a rock
Flesh and blood is all I am
I love completely but I’m not a fool
I protect what is mine but I’m not selfish
I am a woman, a pillar to my family
Man don’t value our role
They ridicule our femininity
I suffered dominance in their hands
My femininity they used disadvantageously
My feminine is not a frame for my abilities
I am a woman and I can defy the odds
Rivalries prominent today shadow my novelty
My God given position does not make me diminutive
Fifty-fifty rule creates awareness of my capabilities
Corporate roles outline my abilities
After all I am a woman
Respect me for what I am
Don’t be intimidated by my achievements
They are not me but my ways to earns meat
I am a woman
