I am an Independent Woman
but I am not what you think I will be.
I am not a sensual, hair-tossing, eyelash batting
curvaceous woman singing about
"all the honeys who making money
throw your hands up at me,"
although I wish I was.
No. I am just a girl who learned
from another independent woman
how to be independent
because the men we depended on
were not dependable.
