I’M A DURGA, ARE YOU?

I love whom I want to I say ‘yes’ when I mean to I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I understand, I always like to I’ll be that friend you can run to I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I give when it’s time to I take only when I need to I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I differ when I choose to I pardon and I’m happy to I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I speak up when I need to I protest when I’m pushed to I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I suffer, I don’t like to I cry, and I get hurt too I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?

I yell when I just have to I do more, don’t you dare me to…(!) I feel I’m in control…I’m a Durga, are you?
