This is something I've received before in my Inbox, and I'm sure lots of women out there have seen this many times too and I think it's really interesting. Sometimes I feel the same way the woman (assuming it was a woman) who came up with this must have felt. Of course a lot of women do go overboard and become insufferable, but it's as if we've been taught that girls are supposed to be docile, so standing up for yourself in anything but an appologetic manner means you're a, well, a bitch.
When I stand up for
myself and my beliefs,
they call me a BITCH.
When I stand up for
those I love,
they call me a BITCH.
When I speak my mind,
think my own thoughts
or do things my own way,
they call me a BITCH.
Being a BITCH
means I won't
compromise what's
in my heart.
It means I live my life
MY way.
It means I won't allow
anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to
tolerate injustice and
speak against it,
I am defined as a BITCH.
The same thing happens
when I take time for
myself instead of being
everyone's maid, or when
I act a little selfish.
It means I have the
courage and strength
to allow myself to be
who I truly am.
I won't become anyone
else's idea of what
they think I "should"be.
I am outspoken,
opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and
there is absolutely nothing
wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me,
try to douse my inner flame,
try to squash every ounce of
Beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.
And if that makes me
a BITCH, so be it.
I embrace the title and
I am proud to bear it.
