And I can be that woman.
I can be the person you want me to be,
But I will have to refuse that offer.

I could be the mother of your children,
Or your daughter at that,
But today I must refuse,

And step into my little box of nothing
And create a little world of my own.

I will carve a life out of the skins of the air surrounding us,
While holding on to the loneliness I choose to be in.

Therefore, I cannot accept,
Whether this is a gift or a curse or however you see it,
For there is a day for me to roam,
And a night for me to swim through.

Today, I refuse your offer.
For I have a life that I'm meant to pilot,
And no one can fly these wings but me.
