STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMEN

BY: LIZ HARDIE

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.
