To: Woman

And there were men. The first to exist and the first to parish, They say this is a men’s world... But it is woman who gives it life The men said i will lead and you shall bear heirs That will lead in my example Heirs that will turn woman’s worlds upside down and leave her with nothing inside. She will blame it all on herself because that’s what we do we carry mountains But it is not ours to bear We have worth way beyond this earth and we are capable of far more than they give us credit for. If this is a men’s world why don’t they rectify the mistakes that has been placed upon our heads by those before, Men that plant seeds and then abandon because it is us who look for excuses every time they astray off the road Yeah sure we all grew faster than we had to, Excuses to validate men. Like we cant satisfy ourselves. We are too scared to lay in our own arms So we take it and we too say this … This is a mans world. While they have bulldozed our gardens, And made our children grow up broken Broken will always break.
