I AM A WOMAN AND I STAND TALL.

I STAND PROUD LIKE THE STATUE
OF LIBERTY. I HOLD THE TORCH TO
THE DARKEST OF NIGHT AND
GUIDE THE WAY. I HOLD
WISDOM TO MY BOSOM AND
CRADLE IT LIKE MY OWN CHILD.
I KEEP A STARIGHT FACE IN THE HORROR
OF THE WORLD WHILE
THE WATER THAT TRIES TO PULL
ME UNDER CRASHES
ONTO MY SKIN. AND I STAY
UPRIGHT, HEAD UNBOWED,
WILL UNBROKEN.
