I AM A WILD WOMEN.

I am a wild woman
I know, in spite of myself
and in spite of what I’ve been told
that there’s beauty in every age
no matter how old

I am a wild woman
I’ve learned what it means to be a life bearer
to bear children
to create art
to plant seeds of love

I am a wild woman
from the depths of the dirt underneath my fingernails
to the height of my very soul
I am one with the Earth
the winds from the four directions whisper through my skin

I am a wild woman
and the spirit of every wild woman coalesces in me
for we are each wild women
and we are all the spirit of the wild woman
I will follow the voice in my heart

I am a wild woman
I sing from my heart
I dance with the stars
I howl at the moon
I love uncontrollably

I am a wild woman
from the deepest, darkest, most sacred part of me
I am fearless
I cry in strength
I open my arms to the sky and welcome the rain

I am a wild woman
I nurture, love and protect
I stand, strongly, silently, sweetly for my brothers
I walk dutifully, prayerfully, joyfully upon the mother
and I will not be stopped

I am a wild woman.

I guess it’s funnier from where you’re standing. ‘Cause from over here I’ve missed the joke. Cleared the way for my crash landing. I’ve done it again, another number for your notes. I’d be smiling if I wasn’t so desperate. I’d be patient if I had the time. I could stop and answer all of your questions. As soon as I find out. How I could move from the back of the line. So I’ll be your clown. Behind the glass. Go ‘head and laugh ‘cause it’s funny. I would too if I saw me. I’ll be your clown. On your favorite channel. My life’s a circus-circus rounding circles. I’m selling out tonight. I’d be less angry if it was my decision. And the money was just rolling in. If I had more than my ambition. I’ll have time to please. I’ll have time to thank you as soon as I win. So I’ll be your clown. Behind the glass. Go ‘head and laugh ‘cause it’s funny. I would too if I saw me. I’ll be your clown. On your favorite channel. My life’s a circus-circus rounding circles. I’m selling out tonight. From a distance my choice is simple. From a distance I can entertain. So you can see me I put make up on my face. But there’s no way you can feel it. From so far away. So I’ll be your clown. Behind the glass. Go ‘head and laugh ‘cause it’s funny. I would too if I saw me. I’ll be your clown. On your favorite channel. My life’s a circus-circus rounding circles. I’m selling out tonight
