In the depths of my being, a chasm lies
A void that gapes, a wound that won\'t deny
The ache of betrayal, the sting of deceit
A heart once full, now drained, a soul defeated
He whispered sweet nothings, lies in my ear
Promises of forever, tears I couldn\'t clear
A web of deceit, a tapestry so fine
I was blind, lost in the labyrinth of his design
He belittled my worth, my voice, my name
Reduced me to nothing, a fragile, broken frame
A mere object, a plaything, a toy to be used
My emotions, a pawn, in his game of abuse
And I, a woman, in a world so unkind
A world that sees me, but refuses to find
My strength, my power, my voice, my will
Drowned out by the din, of patriarchal still
The weight of sexism, a crushing force
A constant reminder, of my second-class course
The glass ceiling, a barrier, a limit, a test
A never-ending battle, to prove my worth, to be the best
But I am tired, so tired, of fighting the fight
Of being seen, but not heard, of being in the dark of night
I am tired of being told, to be silent, to obey
To conform, to comply, to surrender, to fade away
My heart, a heavy burden, a weight that I bear
A soul, so weary, so worn, so torn, so rare
I am a woman, in a world, so unkind
A world that sees me, but refuses to find
The tears I\'ve cried, the pain I\'ve known
The scars I bear, the wounds that won\'t be sown
The lies, the deceit, the heartache, the shame
The memories, that haunt me, that bring me pain
And yet, I rise, I rise, I rise again
A phoenix from the ashes, a soul reborn in pain
I rise, with every tear, with every scar
I rise, with every wound, with every shattered star
For I am a woman, and I will not be tamed
I will not be silenced, I will not be ashamed
I will rise, I will roar, I will make my stand
I will be heard, I will be seen, I will take back my land
In the depths of my being, a fire now burns
A flame that flickers, a spark that yearns
To break free, to shatter, to rise above
To leave behind, the ashes, the dust, the love
For death, it seems, is not the end
But a new beginning, a chance to transcend
To leave behind, the pain, the hurt, the shame
To rise, to soar, to find my own name
And so I\'ll rise, I\'ll rise, I\'ll rise again
A soul reborn, a heart that beats, a spirit that sustains
I\'ll rise, with every tear, with every scar
I\'ll rise, with every wound, with every shattered star
For I am a woman, and I will not be tamed
I will not be silenced, I will not be ashamed
I will rise, I will roar, I will make my stand
I will be heard, I will be seen, I will take back my land.
