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
