I'm no shrinking violet

I'm no shrinking Violet,
You need to understand,
I'll defend myself,
Through think and thin,
And have the upper hand.

I'm no quiet field mouse,
I'll not hide in a hole,
Be standing proud,
For all to see,
I have a fighting soul.

I am like a lion,
Be wary of my roar,
Think once, think twice,
Before you act,
You'd better being sure.

I can burn like fire,
Stand back or feel the heat,
I'll burn you once,
And scold again,
Decide, right now, retreat.

I am strong like thunder,
I'll bellow hard and loud,
A storm will brew,
And then explode,
Give clarity to cloud.

I'll say it once,
One time again,
Please listen to this warn,
Leave well alone,
And walk away,
A fighter I was born.
