I wish there was some way I could hug each one of you
Whisper in your ears, “Its gonna be fine”
But we all know I would be lying,
As I too am clueless, your sister in this ache.
Girl, how did we get here?
How did we forget the rhymes?
And got stuck with the blues
Deluded by fairytales and songs of blue moon.
We were lied to, betrayed
And yet we sit here aching
Thinking…
Was it my mistake?
Girl, how did we get here?
When did we let ourselves become just a digit?
Letting a fool label us
Spewing his dichotomous hypocritical shit!
Remember, when we were strong
Bestowed with these endless possibilities
We still have that potential
The serene mind and inseparable tranquility.
Girl, how did we get here?
Crying our tears, mourning our soul
Edging towards breakdown of our psyche
When we should be out there, Rejoicing!
We aint gonna stop here, are we?
We aint gonna give up.
We are gonna survive this
Our triumph is gonna be chic
Girl, how did we get here?
Letting ourselves down like this?
We owe it to the woman in us
To walk that walk, being spectacular in our levity.
I have immense respect for you women
I appreciate your presence in my life
I have learned so much, from each one of you
Don’t let no fool take away your self-belief
Girl, we are going to stop wondering.
We are going to pick ourselves up and walk
Head high, heels clucking, with restored faith
The lady has left the building.
This is dedicated to all my girlfriends. We have been in this together, and yes, this was long overdue.
