I'm a woman
I'm more than a man
I have his blood and bone
I'm shapelier, sexier and fairer
I'm weak and strong
I'm patient and impulsive
I'm a woman
I'm more than a man
From the taste of the fruit
Till sunrise tomorrow
I'm the face of the deceiver
The root of evil
A haughty heart
I'm the cause of the failed love
The broken home
The ***** china
I control  the mind of
The defiant child
The wayward son
The estranged husband
With a straight back
And a square shoulder
I bare them all
I mother them all
I'm a woman
I'm more than a man
Reincarnation, I await you
If you were to come
A woman I would be
Happy women's day to y'all.

I want to inhabit your dreams
And flutter your eyelids
I'd warm your lips
When daylight closes it's eyelids
To rule your day

There's a stranger I've come to love
In my heart I've always known him
I hoped he'd star in my love story
Only it ain't a fairytale

Tales of endless suffering
Of neighbours and strangers
The lives that dropped unripe
Do not my burden lighten
If I could lessen someone's woe
It would comfort my soul

Me
No matter how far I run
It catches up with me
It's not a wonder
It lives in my head
Olufunke Kolapo Feb 2016
No matter how scary,
Gloomy uncertain the future
Seems. It becomes natural,
Safe and certain when it
Passes by
Olufunke Kolapo Feb 2016
I shoot higher
After every fall
Like an Indian
Rubber ball
