I AM A WOMAN,
I AM A TOY...
AND I COME IN A BOX
I PRETEND TO BE DUMB...
OR I COULD BE CALLED A FOX.
MY SMILE WAS STICHED...
THE MINUTE I WAS BORN...
I HAD NO IDEA I HAD TO DO THIS FOREVER
NOR WAS I WARNED.
I AM TAUGHT TO FOREVER GIVE ...
GOD KNOWS WHEN I WILL BE TAUGHT TO LIVE...
I KNOW HOW TO LOVE... BUT JUST NOT MYSELF
BECAUSE A WOMAN IS ALL ... BUT HERSELF.
MY LIFE IS A PLAY
AND I PLAY A FLY
I HAVE AN AUDIENCE
EACH OF WHOM IS A SPY.
SOMETIMES I AM WORSHIPPED AS A GODDESS...
SOMETIMES I AM CALLED A WHORE...
ALL OF IT...
JUST BECAUSE I WAS LIVING LIFE A BIT MORE...
I THOUGHT I WAS BORN TO BE A QUEEN IN THE GAME...
TURNS OUT I AM JUST A SPAWN ...
WHO SHOULD FOREVER STAY IN HER LANE.
I AM STRUGGLING...
TO BUILD MY POWER AND TO SPREAD MY ESSENCE...
FOR I LIVE IN A WORLD...
THAT IS STILL LEARNING TO HONOR MY PRESENCE...
HOWEVER,
DESPITE ALL THE DISPUTES...
MY STRENGTH IS MY SONG ...
AND SO, IT WILL BE FOREVER LIFE- LONG ...
IN THE END...
MAY MY JOURNEY BE KINDER ....
AND BURDENS BE LIGHT...
AS I FORGE AHEAD INTO A FUTURE SO BRIGHT ...
