Woman
No, I will not wear veils
Nor walk behind a man.
I will always speak my mind
And be my own woman.
With honor, I will earn my keep
And never be a man's slave,
I will lie when I want to sleep
And my comments, I will not save.
I will no be intimidated,
For I will write whatever is true.
Fear will not have me fated
Nor will Cowardice ever do.
I will lay my life for my pen
Through words that reverberate.
It may be crushed, but be unbroken
Beyond the grave will my words pulsate.
