A fool in Love's games

I'm a strong girl
A confident woman
Independent
Headstrong
A Veteran of love's battlefield

Boys have knocked my door before
Left flowers
Fazed me with flatteries
Threw redundant promises
And tried to chain my heart

One was enough
I had enough with one.

I lift my chin at every love interest
Challenge every incoming suitor
I was Hippolyta in every game of love
Ready to let down blatant efforts.
Let-down any man

I thought I had the best defenses
Defenses like the city of Troy
I thought I was ruthless
I thought I was hard enough

Just when I thought I got away with one
I got another.
Another man
Another heartbreak
Another downfall

I am a strong woman
A confident woman
Independent
Headstrong
And a fool in Love's games
