I Am Woman Poem by Ramona Thompson

Dark rewrite of Helen Reddy's classic-My address of certain rumors certain people have tried to start up about me

No matter how many of you may not want to believe
I am woman
So just you listen and listen good
To this lioness bitch's roar
And this time don't dare ignore

Real boobs
Soft to the touch
Real brains
Always smarter and better then yours
Why try to pretend otherwise?
We all know the real jealousy score
As you try once again to tear me down
Toss me out on the floor
Just like a common low down dirty whore
Oh no, no, no
No more

Oh yes, I am wise
Wise to the wicked cruel lies that you've been spreading
Just like a desperate hooker
Town crier
24/7 attention whore
Begging
Pleading for some scrap of love
Yes, you'll pay the price
Take back every nasty word or else
Cos I'm watching you
If I have to
I'll do anything
Everything it takes
To shut your loud lying mouth
Once and for all

Because it's true
Oh yes
I am stronger
I am tougher
Better then you
Weak balless wonders of the world
I am 100%
I am invincible
For real
I am not Ramon
I am Ramona
I am woman

You can bend me but never break me
Cause it will only make me
More determined then before to kick your worthless asp
Into the deepest darkest depths of your own personal hell on earth
Coming away ever stronger
Stronger
Better then you
To say
No, I'm not gonna take your bullshh any longer
Ready so damn ready I am
To finally kick your sinner's soul back
Back to the hell from which that slime crawled

I am woman
Here to make you grow-up at last
Sick of you
Sick of this damn mess you have tried so hard to make of my life
Always trying to step on my toes
Always up to no good
Trying to wreck my squeaky clean rep
This time I'm gonna
Oh yes I'm gonna put a stop to it
Abort the embryo of the rumors you're trying so damn hard to give birth to

Because it's true
Oh yes
I am stronger
I am tougher
Better then you
Weak balless wonders of the world
I am 100%
I am invincible
For real
I am not Ramon
I am Ramona
I am woman

Because it's true
Oh yes
I am stronger
I am tougher
Better then you
Weak balless wonders of the world
I am 100%
I am invincible
For real
I am not Ramon
I am Ramona
I am woman
