Tough Girl

There's no one tougher than me
When I'm pressed against the wall
When I fear that I might fall and skin my knees
When I've heard it said again, "hey, sorry there my friend
We like you but... ", then shake my hand and turn to leave

I'm a tough girl, living in a rough world
Where few there are who take their time to really see and hear me
I'm a tough girl, and I'm making myself heard
Even when my voice is silenced, I still speak without word

There's no one tougher than me, when my road comes to an end
When just around the bend, is the place that I want to be
A tree cuts off my path, I feel I'm at an impasse
I'll walk, I'll use my legs, I'll use my steady feet

I'm a tough girl, living in a rough world
Where its hard to break the glass that hovers over me
And even if I could, really don't know if I want or should
The top is not a place where I'm willing to lose sight of me

Tough doesn't mean I'm hard, or unkind
Doesn't give me the right to hurt, shame or malign
It means that I'll walk my given path, by the ancient ones who only ask
That I live to tell our story

I'm a tough girl, or I wouldn't be here now
Hand firm on my plough I sow my seeds
I'm a tough girl, I'm valid and I'm strong
And if I have to walk alone well that's just fine by me
