As a woman, I have women-like tendencies
You know – emotional and sometimes a little too head strong
Believing that without you there will always be me
That I am too empowered to really need a counterpart
Designating past failed relationships on the present one who has my heart
Wanting to struggle for power from the one who relinquishes power to me
I can do it all by myself
With no assistance from the one Allah has brought to me
Stuck in my ways instead of intertwining with another
The attitude that pushes people away, so it’s like why even bother
But as a woman, it’s not about the typical allowance of shame
In showing that while I hurt from things done
I need the one that consoles me
The cycle has to end jumping into situations too fast
Now you have the results and scars that will forever last
My duty as a woman is to be protected by a true man
Who will do no harm and in return I protect all he has
Caring for current and future children
Being supported in every positive action by the one who holds me dear
Truly knowing that past mistakes will not interfere
With what I know to be true as a woman
The balance of man and woman is a part of life
A partner is needed to handle this world’s fury
Realizing my sometimes self-centered ways
Could take the one I love one of these days
