"Think Twice"
Think twice before calling me the B* word!
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call
me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call
me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own
thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a
bitch.
Being a bitch entails raising my children to be strong
people who have a solid sense of personal and social
responsibility, who are not afraid to stand up for what
they believe in and who love and respect themselves
for the beautiful beings they are.
Being a bitch means that I am free to be the wonderful
creature that am, with all my own intricacies,
contradictions, quirks and beauty.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in
my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I
won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to
tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined
as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself
instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little
selfish.
I am proud to be a bitch! It means I have the courage
and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and
won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I
"should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated, and determined. By Lord,
I want what I want, and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try
to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You
won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself
Send this to all the bitches you know, or anyone you
feel should become a bitch.
And by the way...if I were a man with these same
qualities, I would be called independent, strong,
self-assured, confident, determined, and driven.
Go Figure!
