— A Woman’s Truth —

I am not the princess

you demand me to be,

I am the warrior

my heart propels me to become,

I am the fighter

for my own dreams,

I forge the sword

to liberate the world.

I don’t pretend 

to be in dismay,

I do not cry,

nor I would deceive you

to give me what I want,

all I can promise is

I’ll look straight at you

and with the strongest will,

I will roar

the whispers of my soul.
