  The Blue Lady  Yes I am a woman  And pink is not my colour  I am dusky and plump  And I do not compromise  I do not mean to be desirable  But to achieve everything desirable  Yes I am a woman  And pink is not my colour  I am not a princess or a fairy  I am a queen and a majesty  I am calm and serene outside  Fire and desire burn inside  Yes I am a woman  And pink is not my colour  I know how to ride  I know how to strive  I don't want the change  I am the change  I know it, I own it, I live it  Yes, I am a women  And I love the blue. - Shreya Goswami,  Content Associate.
