On being a mother;
i shelter and protect, put there needs first
i lose myself and i lose respect.
this is how i became me
i am alone
so where has it gotten me
On being a wife
i gave him all of my life
i am a shadow of my former self
and he dares to tell me
i am not myself
this is how i became me
i am support
but where has it gotten me
On being a friend
i encourage and share my secrets with them
i lose trust and they unbalance my zen
and they say i act like
i am better than them
this is how i became me
i am therapist
but where has it gotten me
On being a co-worker
i work hard and play for the team
i get stepped on and passed over
i am depressed and never listened to
this is how i became me
i am angry
but where has it gotten me
On being me
I give the world a part of me
but i am shunned
and questioned, never given a second look
yet i give life, i give love
i think i am the lady, i am suppose to be
quiet, strong and forgiving
but with all this
this is how i became me
i am an unhappy me
but where has it gotten me?
