I'M A BITCH!, ARE YOU?


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 entails raising my children to be strong people who
      have a solid sense of personal and social responsibility, who
      are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in and who
      love and respect themselves for the beautiful beings they are.

Being a bitch means that I am free to be the wonderful creature
      that I am,with all my own intricacies,contradictions,quirks
      and beauty.

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 up 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.

I am proud to be a bitch!  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.

By God, I want what I want, and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, 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.
