That woman's struggle

CATEGORY

just different

You've been one of the strongest

You've lasted the longest

In my circle of friends

The kind of woman

Who fights to the end 

But something happened

Somewhere along that road you took a different course

I tried to hold your hand

Your hand slipped and you walked further into the dark

Your experience though never seen

Was hidden deep beneath your silent screams

With every tear you cried

I realized the truth

Some boy had you fooled

Some boy took advantage of you

What should I do

On account of you

Every time I seen his face I shook

Knowing that he knew that I knew what he took

He took your joy for a moment

Because for a moment you were lost

What was the cost for being naïve 

Sad and lonely nights

In need

Are you in need

Now that you've been given light?

Somewhere under that sadness you drew up a fight

You had it in you

I knew you'd be fine

 Though there is a thin line between love and hate

It's hard to imagine you put up with his games 

You were looking for a real man, but that man never came

 Somewhere beyond this tragic and beautiful war

You've come out like a solider

What about before?

What if you never agreed to step back into a place

Where your cards are dealt straight

In order for you to face 

Your first tribulation

The inevitable struggle of a woman
