I’m not a Superwoman,

I bleed, I cry.
I’m not a Superwoman,
Just a girl who feels the pain inside.
I fall down every time I try.
The ache I feel I have to hide.

I’m not a Superwoman,
I play the game.
I’m not a Superwoman,
Lost and scared, I hide behind a name,
Conceal within me all my shame,
Hold my tongue and carry all the blame.

Fly away. Free me from the past.
Cry away. Cleanse my soul at last.
Help me see the good in me,
Help me find a way.
I just want to feel like I’m okay.

I’m not a Superwoman,
I ricochet.
I’m not a Superwoman,
Smiling just to make it through the day,
I fight to keep the ghosts at bay,
Close my eyes and wish the tears away.

Fly away. Free me from the past.
Cry away. Cleanse my soul at last.
Help me see the good in me,
Help me find a way.
I just want to feel like I’m okay.

It seems each time I try,
I falter, just to fall.
My best was not enough
Although I gave it all.
Haunted by the memories I close another door.
Never finding all the peace I’ve waited for.

Fly away. Free me from the past.
Cry away. Cleanse my soul at last.
Help me see the good in me,
Help me find a way.
I just want to feel like I’m okay.

I’m not a Superwoman,
I bleed, I cry.
I’m not a Superwoman,
Just a girl who feels the pain inside.
I fall down every time I try.
The ache I feel I have to hide.
