I saw how you looked at me

I saw the expression on your face

You had a happy smile

You were in a happy place

You present to the world, a strong woman

But I can also see 

The vulnerabilities deep within you

On occasion, you have shown to me

To protect ourselves, we guard our feelings

Not always knowing how they will come

I know you’ve felt exploited

Just when will this feeling be done?

Please forgive me

Why is this how I am?

I’m happy when you are happy

Maybe I am a sacrificial lamb?

There is a battle going on inside us

Each of us fighting to be free

Free from past emotional injuries

If you are in between two conflicting emotions

Then I think you would agree

Take a step back for a moment

Will you allow me to share what I see?

What will it take for me to show you?

And so the chant, what will it be? What will it be? What will it be?
