Invincible Crown

You stare unto my body, and you see a woman You’d glance at every inch, from head to toe As if I have granted each and everyone A ticket to their own definition Of who I am and what’s my flaw A seat to throw your own description As if my being is for you to owe? So, then I looked behind to see my disposition Just to find out that I will never know The bitterness of this delusion That you find my kind who fears to lose her crown Because you watched us flaunt this rooted frame like a gown Now you pulled it to the length that you’ll decide And in those thin ropes, my worth would hide If you think I’ll be shaken, just by chopping it off the ground Then go have at it! I’ll raise my head up as I walk around Because I have been a woman for a long time From the curve of my smile and to the arch of my back Always am a woman, it is sublime No, I am not screaming radical You ought to be logical To think that a bunch of growing silk Could turn me into something magical? I am a woman, more than what your eyes can see to seek the limitless soul of infinity to bring light to life endlessly Now if you think my planted strings owns my femininity Let me cut it off for you to see underneath that this is a woman, and it’s also me But NOT a woman that I should be But a woman I want to be PM, 2021

And a good thing, too, as without women, humanity would cease to exist! Aloha!
