inner strength only gives me so much

Dare I subject myself to the inevitable migraine
From the tedious project of racking my brain
I can't even begin to decipher my own soul
The intricate inter-workings within

Can I play the femininity card and be excused?
No, I want equality... Or at least I think I do
Melodramatic, in every emotion I ever feel
Both a fortitude and a flaw,but at least I'm fuckin' real

I handle the insanity life sends my way
But sometimes at night I'll cry like a baby
Just wanting to push away the roughness
Craving tenderness and a tight, warm embrace

Sometimes I pick myself up pretty damn well
Feeling like I could take on the armies of hell
Then I look at the world, and the mirror shows me the girl
I can't beat this terror alone, no matter how much I might try

Dammit, baby, I need you
