I Bleed to Rule…
I walk with pride,
Be it left or right,
In a crowd or alone,
I walk as I own,
My choice, my voice,
My relations, my ties,
I dream all day,
I dream to pay,
The cost of my life,
And I would, when I thrive…
I am red when in anguish; I am red when in pain,
I am red when in love, and hence red is my claim,
I bleed to rule,
And if you call me a fool,
I swear to astonish you,
The hallmark of my existence would do,
The ‘red’ in I empower me,
The blood I weep persuade me,
To fly, to try, to fall to fail,
But I am red and hence would never turn pale…
I am the girl at fun,
But women when done,
I am a lady when at power,
And a mother when I ‘flower’…
Do not question my seed,
I don’t feed your creed,
As I bleed to rule,
And I have a lot to ‘school’…
