Strenghts Weakness

It takes a woman to make moves,

Woah, man,

I'm making moves, 

To defeat and overcome,

Emotional break down of the pendulum,

That swings between tears, fears, and anger,

Stranger to myself of the foreigner I've become,

Ill will undone, 

From the shield, I slang from,

Acting too hard as if I was real,

Believed if I played hard enough,

This persona of being tough,

Thick skin and strong posture,

All the while, 

The imposter,

Trying hard to hide who I was,

It didn't fit,

Like OJ's glove...

What I recall from days back when,

My front had dropped,

Exposing me again,

The shell I once tried to wear,

My strength in truth,

It could not bear,

It could not hold,

I was too bold,

The fake was an imposter of me,

The me that I am,

The woman I've been, 

The joke I played in front of my friends,

I appeared as weak when I tried to be strong,

A front I chose to carry on,

Y'all kept me going,

Egged me on,
For fear intimidating,
Held tounges for too long,
Kept me at bay,
To secure your preception,
Lifes strongest lady,
With true imperfections,

True as I am,
True as I've been,
Regained consciousness,
From the me within,
Y'all still act funny,
Fake smiles and such,
Bracing for the day,
I'd beat you to the punch,

Figured out your apprehension,
Of why you failed to mention,
Standing by witnessing my act,
Playing like I was alla that,
While you watched me carry on,
But the vail would hold for so long,
Now you wanna act surprised,
When the true me poured out from inside.

What happened to being more than friends,
Family's what you labeled me,
Held you close by my right hand,
Thought you held me from the quicksand,

Thought you had my back from being close,
Keep it honest, keep me in line,
All the while you were ghost,
Invisible to the naked eye.

It's alright, I guess I learned,
Everyone, I must discern,
But most of all, I'll never doubt,
Or pretend what I'm about.

Strong like might, huge like damn,
Holding back the might
