Becoming Imelda May

I am woman, I am me:
Mother, daughter, sister, free thinker, activist, writer
Boss, singer, sinner, lover, carer, endless beginner
Introvert, extrovert, every-kind-of-vert

Assertive, confident, confidant
Non-conformist, nonchalantly
Flautin', flirtin', and funny as hell
Storyteller, secret-keeper, dreamer, reader

Non-credence believer
Bleeder, bleedin' deadly
Survivor, thriver, chancer, skiver
I'm a ducker, I'm a diver

I'm hungry for knowledge, but I'm full of it
Full of pain, full of joy
One size doesn't fit, like a glove that I'm not
But I am what I am, and... I'm good with that

I'm ordinary, I'm extraordinary
I'm a queen, I'm a bee
I'm sweetness of honey, I'm salt of the sea
I am the seed, I am the earth
I Gaia, she, I matriarch
I am I, I am we
I am woman, I am me
