Battling.

Proven Correct

The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm treated like a little girl
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my back is up against an assuming world
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm talked to like I have low self esteem
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I gaze at you with a face so mean
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my mind is being challenged by others
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm approached by disrespectful brothers
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm told I have no mind of my own
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm being dumbed down by someone who is grown
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my elders tell me what to do
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I want to do what I want to do
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm forced to change my tone
 
The only time I am approached as a woman
Is when I have proven that I am grown.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
