What do you think this poem is about?

It's Fused Within Me

They say I walk like a boy
And handle challenges like a toy
They say i comfort like a mother
Yet roar like thunder
I'm just a young female
But the knowledge I engulf
Is more than water within a whale

I'm called a queen
One who is not dependent on a king
They say i'm not mean
Yes, it's true
Unfortunately it's seen by a few

They don't believe-
When i say it's fused within me
Because they fail to see,
But trust it's a pill
I overdose during breakfast, my important meal
