American Reaching for truth beyond the mold of my so called individuality. Unraveling this blindfold from my mind. Revealing myself apart from the weight of the world. No expectations to be the norm. Freedom in life and love. The true exit from an idle life.
Today I dance inside my head Today I dance for words unsaid Today I dance and dance again Me, my words and feelings we spin And the world will never know I love to dance Because outside I'm just as still as the background I am in.

Dance
Wake up Mom! Run, lock the door! It's too early I'm scared He's trying to break in He's danger God stop him He violently shakes the door She holds on tight He looses grip Disappears into the night But my fight Begins To survive Early labor Doctors Experimental drugs Thank you God We survived!

1976 Struggle
Please Mom Choose life I beg you Hear me Not his anger Not the clinic doors Not the doctors orders Hear Hearts pounding Emotions, tears Realization It's your choice I'm not an infection I'm alive In here Thank you Mom I'm alive!

Our Choice
Before I was conceived I chose to exist within this life of decay And although I cannot remember why I can only imagine it was for its experiences to sense and perceive life in an alternate way To desire life with its pleasures, its beauty But did I really want to exist with pain, suffering, and fear? Did the good outweigh all the bad? Or was I so alone without these that I took them all, just to feel alive? Because above all I do feel alive and desire life with all my heart.

Conceived
I'm quiet never putting up a fight you may think I'm shy with nothing to say always second guessing worried if my words came out right I'm still that little girl who learned peace from fear who's been hiding all these years wanting to be heard but fearing I'll be hurt look me in the eyes can you see me reaching out? desperate for your attention afraid of rejection I turn and look away I'm still that little girl who keeps peace because of fear who's been hiding all these years wanting to be heard but fearing I'll be hurt I'm living in regret for all the words I haven't said the words I let you steal the words that would let me feel the words that could make me real cause I'm still that little girl who hates the peace that comes from fear it's been hiding me all these years I want to be heard without fearing I'll be hurt so open up your ears cause you need to hear that I need to leave this place where fear dominates where abuse creates fear and peace is fears masquerade I don't want to be that little girl who creates peace in fear don't want to hide anymore I need to be heard without fearing I'll be hurt.

Fears Masquerade
The apple hung without knowing fear without knowing death until temptation robbed it and me and you and all of life and we must be charged because we came from Him whom created the temptation that devoured the apple that desired fear and wanted death for all of us to share. But temptation was not His intention and death was not His answer His choice was freedom but we took advantage of His generosity desiring to have it all and yet still He loves us with His grace so amazing that He gave to us His only begotten Son Whom conquered death and wanted eternal life for all of us to share.

His temptation
My word, my words whats going on? my life, my song you’re writing wrong I know I have the heart of a child but the music you give is all too wild my beat is steady but your drums are loud I hear your thunder darken my clouds then your player pounds me to the ground and on my knees I continue this round I cry and I beg for another chance as I struggle to continue my dance but your strum is precise in its pluck as it singles me out as the one without luck my tears and fears collide in my collapse as my song is skipped to an alternative track now here I am where you want me to be humble and lost in your raging sea. If only I knew then what I should've known My eyes would've seen that You're the one telling me I have the heart of a child while the the liar he told me my life was too wild You're the one Whom gave me the steady beat while the liar he told me I was in defeat You're the one Whom held me and my tears while the liar he told me to live in fear You're the one Whom picked me up to dance while the liar he told me life will give me no chance and as lost as the liar told me to be You're the one Whom came and rescued me.

My Song
Written in stone Your words In this child’s heart Too young to understand  It wasn’t me It was PTSD How could I make you see  It was never the way you were thinking  It was truly innocent Too young to understand  It wasn’t me It was PTSD Pedal to the metal Heading toward disaster  Fear and confusion  Too young to understand  It wasn’t me It was PTSD  Knife to your wrist Begging and pleading  Tears overflowing tiny faces  Too young to understand  It wasn’t me  It was PTSD Anger and disillusion You’re chasing me Questioning who I am Too young to understand  It wasn’t me It was PTSD And when my eyes finally see I can’t be angry  I can’t blame  Because after all It wasn’t you  It was PTSD.

It was PTSD
Wasted so much time blaming You Forgetting Your name, believing lies And still You knew I would find You And that was enough for You To never let go And I Thank You, for that day has come And I do remember Your promise And like a child (again) I am in awe of You For out of the water You raised me And into Your arms You reminded me I am forgiven because You love me And now Your Holy Spirit is in this temple And I know I am forever Loved Unconditionally

Reborn
Time stands still  From Earths perch As darkness falls  Illuminating the Heavens  Magnanimously revealing Your eternity of light With this stargazer in awe  Of Your endless life
