A woman too strong!
I was the abused child
The abounded sister
I have been alone
Never knew what love is
I was disowned early on
They planted fear in me
Darkness that didn’t last for long
I saw the light
When they taught me to hate, to speculate
To misjudge others and discriminate
Life to them is a war zone
I survived many arranged marriages
Threats and hits
Their words were bullets in my bone
Every now and then
I feel the pain
I shiver
But I learned to treat my wound on my own
Broke all expectations
I said “no”
Their weak boundaries reflect their own
They said I’m out of line
“An odd woman who can stand on her own”
I fell in love
I gave it everything
For a change I trusted one
I didn’t want the diamond
I just wanted a home
But Things Fall Apart
I went on my honeymoon alone
People betrayed me
They think it’s OK
They say;
I can handle life and I’m too strong
Life threw its worse at me
And I stood up straight
no back up
I took it all alone
I take a minute to sigh
To cry
And warm myself up just to hang on
I cried the nights
Then the sun came out
And I washed my face in a cold place
Then I hugged me tight
I lied and said;
“Everything is alright”
The sun is out
And life must go on
