Traditional Security

He comes home late from work, Expect dinner to be served, A big steak 'cause real men need meat. She has two kids already, A third one on the way and a grown man who takes her for granted So many dreams, so much potential Settled for traditional security. Life's a scary game to play where men set the rules and men possess all the assets. Hits her hard then comes crawling back, with tears in his eyes, to apologise. She looks in the mirror, A black eye stares back at her, Wishing she hadn't been so afraid to stand on her own but it's never too late To take control of your life. Life might be a scary game To play where men set the rules And men possess all the assets, But girls kick ass too.
