I am tired of being a woman

I am tired of always having to please a man

From business woman, to congresswoman, to councilwoman, to gentlewoman

It doesn’t matter who you are, what you look like, where you’re from…

After he gets comfortable, he is a new man

Not sure if he is a good man, but he acts out and says it’s because he is human

But the things he has done, I just wouldn’t

I am tired of being a woman

While you are slowly loving them

They are slowly releasing that bullet

You are working on self-love, but the tension is pulling

They fuck up and flip it

You try to get over it but its 3 AM and you’re still up

Overthinking, now you’re slipping

Slipping into old habits

I am tired of being a woman

I am tired of being one of the good ones
