when i stand up from 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 slave, 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. 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.
