So be it

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs. They call me a Bitch. When I stand up for those I love, They call me a Bitch.When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts  Or do things my own way, they call me a Bitch. Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's  In my heart.  It means I live my life MY way.  It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and  Speak against it, I am defined as a Bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for  myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I 'should' be.   

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, just try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.  And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.  I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
