I Am Woman, I Am Divine

Sometimes I feel sorry for being born a woman
But here I am standing tall, learning to accept it all
Disappointments weigh me down
From my first breath in this town
The pain, the tears, the silent cries
The aching truth behind my eyes
The cycle comes, the body aches
So much discomfort my heart takes
They don't see the storms I brave
The roles I play, the love I gave
Mother-in-law, sister stare
Husband, boyfriends unaware
Colleagues blind to what I feel
Hurt so deep but I will heal

I am deeply, completely
Consciously accepting me
Though I feel helpless, hurt inside
I hold my soul with gentle pride
I am deeply, completely, consciously accepting me

God, this life, your divine plan
A journey written soul to man
Yet here I stand a woman strong balancing karma all along
I trust this path beneath my feet
Through pain and love I am complete

I am deeply, completely, consciously accepting me
Not just a woman but a spark
A light that glows within the dark
I am deeply, completely
Consciously accepting me

The soul within is not confined
By woman's form or man's design
I am your child, your sacred flame
Returning home
I call your name
Thank you God for this design
For making me a woman in this time
I am deeply, completely
Consciously accepting me
Thank you, thank you, thank you
