Is it hard to stare at my eyes?
Lift your head up from my style?
Stare at the focus of my words!
Words that can change the world.
I can’t help it if my skirt may rise,
Above my knees.
I work hard for my,
Arms, built beyond flab.
My words are the real flex.
I am not a bitch, nor am I a whore.
I reproduce, then get back to score.
I have strength.
I’m no fashionista,
Just a leader taking a stand.
I am a woman of politics.
Hear me roar.
