Wounded (Lyric) by RobinGayle
When I was young and stubbed my toe, While waiting for new skin, I'd stub it six more times before The healing would begin. A woman now, a deeper wound. I pray for thicker skin. 'Cause every time you step on me, I bite my tongue again.

Up the ladder: The Second World
Down the ladder: What R U?

how many times does will you take it, as a woman, before the healing begins?
