Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

Woman


Your love tortures my soul
your love has me under control
but I'm tired of loving you
tired of loosing my soul
tired of being under control
of man


I am beginning to understand
there is a better plan
for my life
without man
without lies
without pain
without shame
without your ruthless game


I am beginning to know myself
getting to know my real name
Woman
who brings truth not lies
who brings joy not pain
who brings honor not shame
no connections to a ruthless game
but a Woman
becoming to know her name
