For every woman who knows the pain that sometimes comes along with being a
woman
for every woman who has ever given herself to a man
when she really didn't want to
I say
It's over...
For every time that fist you thought was love touched your face
for everyday of lost beauty and grace
I say
It's over...
For every loss you've felt so deeply
thought you'd never recover
in the pit of despair
then you discover
that there's more pain coming your way
and you panic and wonder
and I say
It's over.
For each day of feeling abandoned and naked
unsafe and unprotected
nervously wearing your fabricated skin
hoping no one will touch it and put it to the test
For every battle you fight
to go through the day
to look in the mirror
and see the battle scars
For the mask you wear because you would not dare
to show anyone the real you
I say......
You are a product of all your joys and fears
laughter and tears
Though your days may seem endless
and your nights intense
you are still here
and you can still smile
and you can still love
and you are living
and giving life
and giving peace
You...the product of pain and fear
you are still laughing and you are still here
the way I see it
that makes you irrepressible.
