Being Me
If my independence is a threat
Move along I don't want to become a pet
I'm not a dunce to sit on a stool
I'll not going to be anyones fool
If I'm the weaker sex what does that mean
I'm looking but it can't be seen
I don't understand it but that's what they say
I guess when they explained I was out to play
My heads on straight,my feet are on the ground
But this doesn't mean i don't fool around
I know I am equal to any man
So don't tell me I can't when I know I can
Don't ask more of me then you have to give
Nor put me down for the lifestyle I live
I don't need a pedestal for I can stand tall
A pedestal is high and I don't want to fall
I can climb a mountain and swim the sea
But I can't stop being me

Right on, Sister!
Independance is freedom. Don't ever let any man
control you or put you down. That is them displaying their weakness.
The world has changed and men are no longer in control of things - thank God! - we are all equal, male and female, black or white; we stand side by side with nothing to hide.
I've read this poem several times already, and just felt the time was right to comment.
