For a while there,
I lost my voice.
I let someone else’s laugh muffle by shouts
for rebellion.
But I am a woman,
hear me roar.
I’ve got no time for heels,
or a cat call.
Because I broke free,
from the good girl mentality
and now, here I stand
Just as good as any man.
I won’t be silent.
I won’t be contained.
Because I am a woman.
I don’t need to be saved.
