A Woman
Verse 1
I am a woman as a woman I've been told
Dieting is marketed to me in this mold
Born with a clock, I yearn for the seed
Years I have waited with remarkable need
Verse 2
I am a woman who has grown from a daughter
Been criticized by a jealous mother
Big breasts and tight buttocks got me into trouble
Boys and men alike ignored her and focused on me instead
Verse 3
I am a woman who is not a victim
Begging for scraps is something I'll never do
I am a woman who is a c-u-n-t - there, I said it
I don't get hysterical when I'm referred to as such
Bridge
I don't fare well with scorn and bitterness
I don't do well with a life of unwanted sacrifice
This won't work well if you're in constant judgement of me
I am a woman who is weaker than feminist chants
Chorus 1
I have been adored
I have been protected
I'm using my status for monetary gain
Chorus 2
I have been shamed
I have repented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness
I have been blamed
I have relented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness
Chorus 3
I have been glorified
I have been worshipped
I'm working my way toward my original template
I have been raped
I have been attacked
I'm working my way toward endless retribution
