a body betrayed
a heart destroyed
a mind in confusion
and yet a woman
is capable of taking pain
and transforming it into triumph

be good to yourself
you're the only you
you'll ever get

weak men are afraid of a woman's strength.

Be annoyed and sin not"

~R. Alan Woods [2012]

I could've been your everything
but you didn't have the courage
to love me in the way I needed
