I am woman...

I graduated high school from which girl to girl relationship was a common thing. A lot of lesbianism (not that serious one) was accepted...those who went sporty and, as a matter-of-fact they treated me as one...so I took everyone for a ride. I told myself...go with the flow...but honestly speaking I knew all along that I was indeed a girl inside. But my ways, I was kinda tomboyish, maybe because I grew up with strong character. I loved to be with my father most of the time in the farm and we would always talk about things life was made of. He was my hero. I learned a lot of ABC's in life. How to be strong and be principled. So maybe because of this, they mistook that I was indeed a lesbian. There were times that girls would send feelers, but honestly speaking I haven't had had any moments dreaming to be in the company of a woman like me in a suggestive moods or any. I love my preference and I respect my friends who are mostly lesbians. Time came that I learned how to do make up and act rather womanly now because it's the way I feel. Well, that was a choice indeed and I like it that way. Right now I am married and sad to say...my marriage wasn't so lucky at all. After long blissful union...it was marred by a third party and due to some misunderstanding and a lot of differences too. It is quite a painful thing to tackle but I believe I was left with no choice but to accept things as they are. My children will only serve as an anvil of the blows, if me and my husband would choose to hammer each one. Acceptance is the best tool I guess, so I took everything in stride and now it is just a simple matter to me now. But still there were times that I would just breakdown and cry. I don't know...maybe I was badly hurt and bruised inside. I was carried away...but going back, I am telling this that inside and out...I am a woman. And that is my choice.
And indeed I am truly happy the way I veer...away from my friends' preference.



I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
