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.
