Nothing But A Disabled Woman



When My Story’s Told,
How Will They Tell It?
Will They Say I Was A Giver Or Lie & Say I Was Selfish?
Will They Say I Was A Sinner Or Pretend I Was A Saint?
Will I Go Down As A Winner,
What Kind Of Picture Of Me Will They Paint?
Would They Say That I’m A Quitter? That's One Thing I Know I'm Not
Will They Tarnish My Name?
Will They Taint It?
Will They Glorify Me Or Over Think?
Will They Say They Knew Me,
Say I’m Great?
Say I’m Phoney,
Say I Was Fake?
Say The Things About Me That They Never Told Me To My Face?
I Was Loved
I Was Hated,
I'm Just A Woman With A Dream
I'm A Mess,
I'm A Loser
I'm A Hater,
I'm A User
I'm Obsessed,
I'm Embarrassed
I'm A Liar
I Don't Trust No One Around Me
To Them I Am All Of Those Things
When I’m Gone I Know They Will Talk,
They're Going To Discussing Who They Assume That I Am
When They Bury Me Just Know
I Wasn't Just Nothing But A Disabled Woman
I Was A Legendary Woman
