I Am Woman

I make decisions for myself
I write anything that I want
I go when and where ever I please
I am finally free to be me

To bath in the light of a full moon
To dance close with my shadow lover
To embrace timeless natures wonders
To seek a companion my own way

Dream of sharing an ancient forest
Dream of romance in its purest form
Dream mystical places where I thrive
Dream oceans and mountains where I’m free

I am Woman and I will be heard
I have eternal love for granting
I am filled with the passions of life
I am Woman knowing what I want

Bravo! You should be just that, your own woman to live as your mind, heart and talents take you through the peaks and valleys of life.
Loved this.

Wasn't it Helen Reddy that sang?

"I am woman hear me roar
I am too big to ignore."

Great stuff!

I never once thought you were anything but Woman, Karen, and all that you implied goes along with the Woman name.

One great international leader of India
Told that when women at midnight walk
Without any fear or worry by being free
That is truest freedom got by our Nation.

You are certainly all that and more, Karen.  It does sometimes take a long time for us to know ourselves especially after a lifetime of "put-downs".  Good write!
