EndoWarrior The Song!

Some of you may be surprised by this, but I like to write music! I know, I know, crazy right? I am a social worker!! But sometimes I am lucky enough to be on the side of inspiration. Sometimes the angels whisper in my ear, sometimes they hit me over the head with a frying pan. This is one of the frying pan situations. As many of you know, the Million Women March for Endometriosis is happening this March in DC and in cities all over the world. I feel like there needs to be a rally song, a song to unite us all, to make our voices heard, to explain to the world what we feel on a daily basis. I titled the song after one of my favorite Endometriosis Support Groups and a popular hashtag on twitter that explains how fierce and brave us endometriosis patients are. Below is a link to the song.  A fellow Endowarrior, Rachel Cohen, is performing it with her beautiful voice. She is not only a singer, but an author and is compiling a book of stories from endometriosis patients from around the world. Check out her blog at http://endofromtheheart.blogspot.com/

EndoWarrior Working Lyrics

People say I’m crazy,

That I’m just not strong enough.

People say I’m lazy,

That it’s time that I get tough.

They don’t understand,

This pain I can’t ignore.

It hurts with every breathe,

I can’t take it anymore.

Chorus:

I may not be strong enough or tough enough for you.

You may not choose to see my reality as truth.

But, I’ll no longer listen to your words that are only hurting me.

I am a warrior you will see.

 

Surgery after surgery

The many scars run so deep.

And yet it always seems,

Nothing brings relief.

Hard to keep my head up,

Feel so all alone.

Countless hours spent,

With my heating pad at home.

Chorus
I may not be strong enough or tough enough for you.

You may not choose to see my reality as truth.

But, I’ll no longer listen to your words that are only hurting me.

I am a warrior you will see.

Bridge

It’s time we come together and stand as one in pain.

It’s time for once our cries aren’t heard in vain.

If we lean on each other our power will not wane.

 

The mountains I have climbed,

One day you will understand

Then you’ll finally know

How strong I really am.

Chorus:

I may not be strong enough or tough enough for you.

You may not choose to see my reality as truth.

And I’ll keep fighting this disease that has completely ravaged me.

I am a warrior you will see.

Endowarrior you will see.
