That Woman You Know

Do you see that woman?

Hidden behind the dorky exterior

Still shines with radiance and grace

Do you see that woman?

Hiding behind her silence

Still has many stories to tell

Do you see that woman?

Hidden underneath her skin and clothes 

Still fiery and full of spunk

Do you see that woman?

Hiding behind her shyness 

Yet has a wicked sense of humour

Do you see that woman?

Hidden behind the tired eyes and smile

And has stories of daily courageous battles 

Do you see that woman?

Hidden behind her screen

With a heart as deep as the ocean

Do you see that woman?

Hidden behind her insecurities

Still a champion for the meek

Do you see that woman?

That sits on her dark windows

But dreams about the stars

Do you see that woman?

That looks back from the mirror 

She's too much, too little, 

Too guarded, too crazy 

Too mad and too awesome 

In a life of constant storm

She is the ray of light.
