There's a girl in the woods
She's sitting alone
She made the choice
to leave her home,
bear or man,
her answer clear,
the same as any woman near,

safety is all she can feel, because she'd rather be a bears next meal,
than be subject to whatever the hell he feels,
he wants to do,

Echoed banshee screams
People without feet
Nose-less with sharp point teeth
A scaled tail for feet
An enchanting song
That once lured...
I lead troops into battle
I have scars to prove
A sword at my side
Yet not one vote
But one day you’ll see
The difference I’ve made
