I'd like to say that I do not care
That lately you've been insensitive
I am, after all, my own woman
By myself, all alone, I can live

I'd like to say that I do not feel
The dying fire that was once so alive
I am, after all, a strong woman
I don't need anyone to survive

I'd like to say that I do not cry
Whenever you turn cold and distant
I am, after all, a grown woman
To crumble o'er a man, I'm not wont

But I am, after all, a woman
And even though I really do try
This time I would just have to cave in
Because I do care, I do feel, I do cry

Pearl Weena Marie E. Sabido, M.D.
