i am a capricorn woman (speech) - weglobe lyrics

i am a capricorn woman
and i need you to understand what that means
it means i learned to stand before anyone taught me how. it means i was making decisions at ten that some people don’t make at thirty. it means i grew up fast because i had to. not because i wanted to. because there was no other option
i am a capricorn woman
that means i don’t trust easy. and i won’t apologize for that. because every time i trusted fast, i paid for it slow. i paid with my peace. i paid with my sleep. i paid with parts of myself i’m still trying to get back. so yes, i take my time. yes, i watch before i move. yes, i ask questions that make people uncomfortable. because i’ve been uncomfortable enough for a lifetime and i’m not doing it again for someone who hasn’t earned me
i am a capricorn woman
that means when i love you, i love you with my whole chest. i don’t do half. i don’t do sometimes. i don’t do “let’s see where this goes.” when i’m in, i’m in. i will remember your mother’s birthday. i will notice when you’re not okay even when you say you’re fine. i will show up for you in ways you didn’t even know you needed. i won’t always say it pretty. but i will show it daily. that’s how i love. with my hands. with my time. with my presence. with everything i’ve got
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’ve been called cold more times than i can count. they say i’m distant. they say i’m hard to read. they say i don’t let people in. but what they don’t say is why. they don’t talk about the ones who came before them and broke things. they don’t talk about the trust i gave that got thrown back in my face. they don’t talk about the doors i left open that let the wrong people walk through. so yes, i’m careful now. yes, i take my time now. that’s not cold. that’s smart. that’s a woman who finally learned her lesson
i am a capricorn woman
that means i work. not for applause. not for recognition. i work because it’s in my blood. i work because my mother worked and her mother worked and we come from women who didn’t have the luxury of waiting for someone to save them. we saved ourselves. we built our own tables. we bought our own homes. we raised our own children. we held our own families together with hands that were tired but never stopped moving. that’s who i come from. that’s who i am
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’m loyal in a way that scares people. when you’re mine, you’re mine. i will defend you to strangers. i will protect your name in rooms you’ll never enter. i will have your back when the whole world turns theirs. but don’t confuse my loyalty for stupidity. i will give you my all. but the moment you show me you don’t deserve it, i will take it back. and i won’t feel guilty. because my loyalty is expensive. it costs me something to give it. and i don’t waste expensive things on cheap people
i am a capricorn woman
that means i carry things i never talk about. i have days where i’m barely holding it together but you’d never know because i’ve mastered the art of looking fine. i smile in meetings when i want to scream. i answer “i’m good” when i’m falling apart. i hold everyone else up and then go home and sit in the dark wondering who’s going to hold me. but i don’t say that out loud. because capricorn women don’t complain. we just keep going. even when we’re tired. even when we’re empty. even when we’ve given everything and there’s nothing left
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’ve been underestimated my whole life. they looked at me and saw quiet. they saw reserved. they saw someone they could overlook. and i let them. because i learned a long time ago that the loudest one in the room is rarely the most powerful. so i stayed quiet. i observed. i planned. i moved in silence. and then i showed up with results that made them wonder how i did it. that’s the capricorn way. we don’t announce. we just arrive. already prepared. already ten steps ahead. already holding the thing they said we couldn’t have
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’m hard on myself in ways n0body sees. i replay conversations from three years ago wondering if i said the wrong thing. i lie awake thinking about mistakes i made when i was twenty*two. i hold myself to standards that would break other people. and yes, sometimes it breaks me too. but i don’t know how to be any other way. i don’t know how to give less than everything. i don’t know how to be okay with okay. i want better. i want more. not because i’m greedy. because i know what i’m capable of. and settling feels like lying to myself
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’ve survived things i don’t talk about. not because i’m ashamed. but because i already survived them once. i don’t need to relive them for your entertainment. i don’t need to explain my scars so you feel comfortable with my walls. i know what i’ve been through. i know what it took to get here. and i don’t owe anyone that story. the ones who need to know, know. the rest of you just need to understand that when i seem guarded, it’s because i’ve been to war. and i’m still standing. and that’s enough
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’m patient in a way that looks like weakness but is actually power. i can wait. i can hold. i can let time do what arguing won’t. i’ve watched people who wronged me fall without me lifting a finger. i’ve seen karma work better than any revenge i could plan. i don’t react fast. i respond right. and sometimes responding right means doing nothing at all. just watching. just waiting. just trusting that what’s for me will come and what’s not will remove itself. that’s not passive. that’s strategy
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’ve been lonely in rooms full of people. i’ve felt unseen by people who claim they love me. i’ve wondered if anyone would notice if i just disappeared for a while. not forever. just long enough to see who actually cares. and some days the answer scares me. because i realize i’ve been pouring into cups that were never going to pour back. i’ve been showing up for people who would never show up for me. and that’s my fault. because i taught them that i didn’t need anything. i taught them i was fine. i taught them they could take and take and i would still be there. and i was. until i wasn’t
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’m learning. learning that strength doesn’t mean never asking for help. learning that being soft with the right people isn’t weakness. learning that i can put it down sometimes. learning that i don’t have to earn rest. learning that my worth isn’t in what i produce. learning that i am enough even when i’m not doing anything for anyone. that’s the hardest lesson. because i’ve spent my whole life being useful. and i’m still trying to figure out who i am when i’m not needed
i am a capricorn woman
that means i’m proud. not arrogant. proud. because i know what i came from. i know what i survived. i know what i built. and n0body can take that from me. they can talk about me. they can doubt me. they can leave me. but they cannot undo what i’ve done. they cannot unbecome who i’ve become. this life is mine. i built it brick by brick with my own hands on days when i didn’t think i could keep going. and i kept going anyway. so yes, i’m proud. i’ve earned that
i am a capricorn woman
i am discipline when everything in me wants to quit
i am patience when the world tells me to rush
i am loyalty when everyone else is leaving
i am strength when there’s no one to lean on
i am silence when words would make it worse
i am action when promises aren’t enough
i am the one who stays
i am the one who builds
i am the one who holds it together
and i am tired sometimes
and i am lonely sometimes
and i am scared sometimes
but i am still here
i am a capricorn woman
and i’m just getting started
