My eyes were open to the reality but I took a moment to dream
By dreaming, I closed my eyes to the truth
Hoping to make the dream a reality
Fool that I am
I mistake the dream for reality
The consequences I must pay
If only my eyes were closed and I never had to see
The consequences of my momentarily lapse
That haunts my reality
I am awake now
No more dreaming or lapses in time
No illusion or pitying cries
I am a woman
I am a woman no matter what
I am my mother's child
I am not Leah's daughter
Reduce to begging for her husband's favor
A woman unloved
I am a woman with choices
A woman with eyes wide-open
To the realities of life
My life, and so I choose
