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 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 of my own intricacies, contradictions, quirks and beauty.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what is 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 support my beliefs, 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.
