I am a Woman

a secret garden in my womb, I won't hide it anymore I will speak my truth until my voice is sore look at the night sky, look at my hands, oh, who do you blame? I create the things I desire, the woman that I became I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman call me a river, call me a book call me a healer for the sake of the woods cry like a baby, dance like a child fight like a rat, die like a dream I move my wrings down and fold them up and I store them in my breast lay your head down on my lap I cover you in my love so you can rest I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman and I am a woman, a portal of life and I die like a dream while you believe in me and I am a woman, a portal of life and I die like a dream while you believe in me and I die like a dream and I die like a dream and I die like a dream while you believe in me
