Free Flight
A Poem About Independent Women
Every now and then they’d call me in
To make the trap all spin and make me fall within
But it ain’t happening no more
I’m not a fool anymore
I won’t quit it all down
Or smash it around
Whatever it takes
However hard the way they make
I’m not gonna fall
Or stumble at all
I’ll make way for myself
Not be a slaving elf
What they’ll have is what they never seek
They’re gonna have to weep
For the world they offer is not for me
I’m gonna reach where I want to be
No cliché no paths will I follow
Their prides, they’re gonna have to swallow
And one day they’ll know
You get whatever you sow
Happiness I put in
And that is what I dig to win
For it’ll always be me
Taking control of who I want to be!
