Who do you think I am?
Just some girl
Worthless
And alone?
A future mother
Maybe
Just waiting for a man
Some princess in a tower
Too weak to lift her hand
Some woman
Lost and lonely
Some child in the dark
A girl like in the movies
With a knife held to her heart
Who do you think I am?
Am I the daughter you desire?
Am I a shame
To the family name?
Am I hopeless
One more lost?
Am I figurative language
Words better left unsaid
The fulfillment of your wishes
The last hope for grandkids many
Just a girl waiting
Sleeping beauty rest in peace
Let me dream of some great woman
Wake to a kiss from some great man
Sweetest guy could ever want
Save the smallest little fact
I’m a shame upon the family
A burden in my pain
Missing pieces of your childhood
Give me what you never had
Give me courage, love and hope
Keep me locked up in my heart
My mind is born of sorrow
Of something even more
I’m lost in your protection
I’m smothered by your love
A girl
To hold and cherish
A girl
To marry off
A boy
to carry on the name
A boy
To replace your son
Lock me in a tower
To be rescued by some prince
Slaughtered by his longing
Ignore my cries and screams
Ignore my heart that’s bleeding
Ignore my fragile tears
Who do you think I am?
Just a girl
To be a wife
To be a mother
To be perfection
Listen to your heart
Unless it tells you not to be
Just a girl
Wife
Mother
Any more than just these three
