I’m a woman
I will be quiet
I have ambitions, I have aspirations
I have dreams…
But I’m a woman
I will be quiet
I’ll take the back seat
I’ll eat the leftovers
I’ll wait till the last doorbell rings
I’m a woman
I will be quiet
I’ll fight back my tears
I’ll bury all my fears
I’ll smile when my heart is aching..
I’m a woman
I will be quiet
From the day I am born
I am made to believe
That indeed I am the ‘weaker sex’
I may study, I may dream
I may work, I may succeed
But never should I learn – to expect
For a woman’s place is beneath a man’s
Defy that and in hell you will land
And scornful eyes around you
Will tell you
You are a woman
You will be quiet.
