Cover Over Me

Sometimes I am a strong woman,

Others can make it hard to be so.

All of the time I am a black women,

And with that I will always be strong.



My heart aches with the breaking,

With a smile, a cover over me.

The physical part of me aches often,

Don't let it hold me back-cover over me.



For once I want to share how I feel,

And not be criticized for feeling so.

But until the time arrives,

You love is the cover over me.



The person is very different,

Different from the person you think you know.

I consist of emotions, personality, and strength.

All he sees is me outerly.



A search and pray to have that kinda man,

Man to pour my heart out to.

An understanding and nonjudgmental man,

He will lift the cover from over me.
