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
