Because You are a Woman

Because You are a Woman
You keep your pain inside
You smile when you want to cry
Your desires, You always hide.

You strive to be the best
You aspire to reach the top
Because You are a Woman
The world wants You to stop.

From the morning to night
Multi-tasks You perform
Because You are a woman
It's considered a norm.

So wet are your tears
That you shed at night
Because You are a woman
You don't share your plight.

With anxiety so high
And self-esteem too low
Because You are a Woman
You don't let it show.

Because You are a Woman
You know there is power within
To believe in yourself
To know that You shall win.

Because You are a woman
You open your wounded heart
TO spread warmth, love and care
Even if You fall apart.
