A Woman

A Woman

Verse 1

I am a woman as a woman I've been told

Dieting is marketed to me in this mold

Born with a clock, I yearn for the seed

Years I have waited with remarkable need

Verse 2

I am a woman who has grown from a daughter

Been criticized by a jealous mother

Big breasts and tight buttocks got me into trouble

Boys and men alike ignored her and focused on me instead

Verse 3

I am a woman who is not a victim

Begging for scraps is something I'll never do

I am a woman who is a c-u-n-t - there, I said it

I don't get hysterical when I'm referred to as such

Bridge

I don't fare well with scorn and bitterness

I don't do well with a life of unwanted sacrifice

This won't work well if you're in constant judgement of me

I am a woman who is weaker than feminist chants

Chorus 1

I have been adored

I have been protected

I'm using my status for monetary gain

Chorus 2

I have been shamed

I have repented 

I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness

I have been blamed

I have relented

I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness

Chorus 3

I have been glorified

I have been worshipped

I'm working my way toward my original template

I have been raped

I have been attacked

I'm working my way toward endless retribution

I am intrigued by "I'm working my way to my original template" all of a sudden, I feel as though there's something I need the writer for. The colors are working well and they are nicely chosen especially in the choruses 1-3, we go from Thanksgiving to a wintry feeling by the end in terms of the print(s) colors
