A Woman Shadow

All of us have a shadow that is dark and deep,

An untamed, wildfire lurking within her.

In her heart, where wild things play,

Her inner villainess dreams of possessing a sway.

She was told from what way to behave that one would be good, gentle as well as kind,

But they do not touch what she bears in mind.

This is the weight of the whole world on your shoulders and binding rules

The fire has been driving people to jail.

They can be fright when they see it their hands shake with fear,

So, she should smile, button up, and increase what they are doing.

But there is a roar very deep inside,

A sort of feminine strength growing – bold and ferocious.

She is not their enemy like they presume or a creature out to unleash revenge on others,

But some lady who has decided to follow her enlightenment without any chains.

Now that all issues have been put on the table, let us be honest:

In her villainy lies her truthfulness.

Why be the heroine who bends and breaks,

When the villainess takes what she needs, what does she make?

This person does not seek to please us, nor bend to rules

After all these years she has come to understand how foolish we are.

So if she wants to be called bad then let it be so;

The more people think she’s bad the stronger she gets in fact.

Every woman has a right to put on that crown

Rebirth from ashes and hit back the dreams again.
