I Am a Woman

I am a woman, and hatred is my middle name The hate stubbed in me By the person who should have loved me The man so called Daddy I am a woman, and hatred is my middle name Who is never allowed to run free Always compared, always asked to do his way And even got my first love kicked out of our door I am a woman, and hatred is my middle name And life does not treat me well Only leading me from one disappointment to another Waiting for a hero to come and get me out of hell I am a woman and hatred is my middle name I found the hero, after 18 years of pain But alas, he has chosen another woman Instead of me, the first love of his I am a woman and hatred is my middle name I try so hard to hurt her for taking my hero She who took my man's heart The heart that should’ve been mine Yet, the thing I don't realize, I hurt him more than her Cause she is the light of his life and I have taken it from him Making him a dead man walking with a big hole in his heart A hole that I cannot fill since it belongs to her I am a woman and hatred is my middle name Now I am dying from my own cause The stupidity of thinking and assuming That I am hurting her when in fact I am killing myself.
