When I stand up for those I love, they call me a b***h.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they
call me a b***h.
Being a b***h 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 b***h.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being
everyone's maid, 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. 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 b***h, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud
to bear it.
B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself
That's how I feel about it as well. As I know this word could offend others, I tend to avoid calling someone else by that word.
