Woman Talk

​

​

Sisterwoman sisterwoman

Talk about the pleasure

Talk about the pain

​

Don’t save up your emotion for a stormy day
don’t let pent-up anger reign

rain, reign, rain, reign, rain

down
on the ones you love

​

Take that feeling

don’t fake that feeling

make that feeling your own

​

Sisterwoman sisterwoman

Talk about the pleasure

Talk about the pain

​

Don’t hide your feelings behind blank eyes

(a thin disguise for your hurt)
Don’t cry
behind closed doors
Don’t try
to smother the sobbin
the sobbin, the sobbin, the sobbin, the sobbin,
the sobbin and the heavin
of a million tear-filled moments

strangled into silence.

​

Take that feeling, don’t fake that feeling

make that feeling your own

​

Sisterwoman sisterwoman

Talk about the pleasure

Talk about the pain

​

and when joy and laughter overwhelms you
and threatens to split you from head to toe
let them know

Throw back your head open your mouth

and laugh laugh

LAUGH OUT LOUD

let the highest leaf on the tallest tree

                            let the smallest ant in the deepest valley          dance          

 

to the rhythms of your fun

Take that feeling

Don’t fake that feeling

make that feeling your own

​

​

Sisterwoman sisterwoman

Talk about the pleasure

Talk about the pain

​

and sisterwoman know yourself

and sisterwoman feel yourself

and sisterwoman be yourself

​

  and

                                      Sisterwoman

 

 find

                                                         peace.
