Opiniated, chinup
I stand tall
For I am faced with those who
oppose all

Carefree, I chose my destiny
With reservation
For I am the few who believes
in continuity

Strong, my will is good
Without judgment
For I am a woman who'll
fight her opponent

Single, tears are shed
In respect
For I am condemned in solitude
in all aspects

Kindness, wounds will heal
With time
For I am a soul who
deserves no crime
