When the woman arrives
Who will she be
A vagabond beauty
stealing her essence from society
will she roam her comfort zone
only dreaming of breaking free
When the woman arrives
maybe she'll stand strong
fighting against oppression
while maintaining her peace
living out her dreams
while helping others out of their nightmares
Will the woman arrive?
No, when the woman arrives
will she bring along her kindness
or will bitterness mar her sweetness
causing her potential to be stunted
feeling like her soul is being hunted
When the woman arrives
will she be so old
that the life she should have lived
would now be gone
cause even though her heart desired
her determination wasn't as strong
