Never again will I be mistreated
No longer will I be defeated
I do not need companionship to feel completed
I AM WOMAN
Destined to be the mother of all men
Biblically speaking because of another’s sin
But I find it gracious to bear children
I AM WOMAN
Entering the workforce with vengeance
Not asking for anyone’s clearance
How I grow weary of this petty interference
I AM WOMAN
Gone is the subservient for eternity
I stand tall with undiminished dignity
And I shout this all in the name of equality
I AM WOMAN!
-Evie Lovett
