Shield

I am a woman.

I speak.

My voice, my power

Is my shield.

My freedom helps me fly.

My wings extend,

Up into the sky.

I stay protected

Unharmed I am.

My amour is my mind,

Which is one of a kind.

I’m independent,

My efforts help me rise.

My love, my thoughts

Cannot be priced.

My words, my opinions,

They do matter.

Your behavior, your attitude,

Will not make me shatter.

Don’t you think less of me,

I’m as tall as a tree.

You cannot cut me down,

My shield protects me.
