IF
If is a
crazy word
Or an
unhealthy turd
If only I
had done this
Or that
Thrown away
the key
And just
been me
If only I
had said no
And fought
my foe
If only I
had done this
Or that
Instead I
stuck it out
And now I
want to shout
If only I
could be free
Sing from
the tops of trees
If only I
could do this
Or that
But the vice
is still tight
And I'm
prepared for a fight
If only
women were not subjugated
Or
flagellated
If only
they could do this
Or that
If only women had one voice
Then we
would rejoice
If is a
crazy word
As fragile
as a baby bird
If only I
could do this
Or that
If may
define my past
But I
refuse to be typecast
If is a
word of possibilities
Freedom
from responsibilities
If only I
could do this
Or that
And I will
Because I shall not standstill
