The heart of an empowering woman

Her parents taught her how to be kind .
Father taught her strength
Mother taught her love and endurance .
Her smile was as bright as the morning sun .
Her eyes were blue like the deep ocean
Hair like river of gold
She was called a misfit
For being one of a kind
She fell in love with a boy ,
Whose treacherous ways broke her heart .

Her tears mended her soul .
History kept repeating over and over
She wanted acceptance
She climbed on to the stage and voiced her feelings
She sang like she did in her bedroom
Countless heartbreak and humiliation .
But , never once lost faith in love and humanity .

She was trolled for voicing her opinion .
Only because she was a woman
She wrote songs to cope on her bedroom floor .
Her reputation burnt to the ground
Like a beautiful mansion burning .
And from that she rose like a phoenix

Her red lips still uttered wisdom and kindness
To those who love her
She fell in love with love .
She became both a butterfly and a snake 
Beautiful to see
Perilous to touch .
Was quick to fend her self like a venomous scorpion .
Her words can hit one's soul and heart
Like the arrow of both a hunter and a Cupid .
