Strong, Independent Women, they can become
These women many say, they want to have in their life
They are bold, courageous, have no fear
Stand up for their beliefs, many have dealt with much strife
Never afraid to be alone, they handle every task
No one is needed to fill internal holes or voids
Physically up for any challenge, they never give up
Soon these women are considered too much to handle, many become annoyed
Projected voice and fearless attitude, they are always questioned
They have taken over the roles not intended for them, this some men feel
Some men have their feelings hurt, others may take advantage
Strong, Independent Women have had their trials, some of their hearts freshly healed
Holding no punches, they fight for their rights
No one should ever consider themselves better than them
Equal to all, they expect to be given the respect that is deserved
Fighting with everything they have, in life they will push hard to always win
Strong, Independent Women, may we always respect them
Many will not understand the life they have lived to become so hard and tough
Strong, Independent Women, standing tall, when they feel like sinking
These women must we look up to, never in need of someone to tell her she’s good enough.
