I Am a Woman- Let Me Be

Perhaps pretending that
This protest playing in my head
Is a plot to please the pain
I preset in my brain
But I’m still insane, ill
Not the same, since you came
I can’t feel the hurt
From my heart
Though from the start
We become as one
And now we are done.

Maybe
I am still your lady
Somehow in your life, I’m handy
I mean something
Though I always think of nothing
Sometimes the suprises you spring on me
Make me smile silently
As I stare at your sweet self, good old days…..
Contemplating of my fortune that I found you
And know you feel the same way too
Until you really hurt me.

I thought your jealousy would end
That our difference we’ll mend
Btu the years I spent
Giving you all of me
So that we can be
I never knew of my worth
Nor thought of my health
You were my wealth
And for that
I was in love with love
Not the reality
That tell a story known to me
Not the song written to express
My own poetry
Lonely I sit here scared
Hoping you’ll finally see
This woman in me.

This girl who’s not hers’ in anyway,
Any day would let you hit her
Leave her alone to bleed
But this has to stop
Because perhaps telling
The world my story
Would make you hear
That the abuse she can not bear
Please do not abuse
This woman in me.....
