Don't cry I was told,I was just a 6 year old
Don't Scream I was told,I would spank you if you do.
Don't feel I was told,pain is a normal part of life.

Don't cry I am told,your now a woman
Don't Scream I am told, it's not lady-like,well it up inside.
Don't feel I am told, just push it aside, it's a normal part of life.

Don't show your wrinkles,braid your hair, and walk tall,I am told.
Don't Scream your pain, don't show your anger,I am told.
Don't Feel the hurt, you brought it on...
