Superwoman

Superwoman

In her black-white suit

She's as strong as steel, as cold as ice,

With her head held high, she struts about

Grim determination in her eyes.

Sipping coffee, she bosses around

Feared by men who salute and bow

In her red stilettos she takes her stand

Nonsense and rubbish, she'll never allow.

Superwoman

that's who she is

As strong as steel, as cold as ice,

But at night in bed she cries alone

With pain and hurt in those dark brown eyes.

Every morn in the mirror she sees

weaknesses, flaws and fragility;

Putting on a mask as the make-up comes on

Hiding the girl with insecurities.

Superwoman

as tough as she may be,

her soul's not of steel, her heart's not of ice,

Take a proper look, and see through her eyes

Away with the pretense, away with the lies.

Then maybe you'll notice

there's something more,

Something that's precious,

and worth living for.
