I look at myself dancing
to the song Truth Faith.
It says," I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty..."


I can feel it!

Why do I wake up feeling this way every morning?
My tears have dried up.
I am tired of this...so tired
that now...my soul needs a surgery.
I want to escape but I am caught up really bad.
Now...what to do?

They call me useless
But...I know my worth.
Their voices have put blisters on me
Their voices have burned me


But...I am a Phoenix!
And I will rise from my own ashes.

My mother is the aid to all my aches
I can feel her warm hand on my head
when I sleep with a cold heart.
Even though she strokes my head for minutes
It keeps me warm for days.
I am sorry Mama! I know you deserve
a daughter much better.
Not someone like me...a girl fighting with her
own mind day and night.
I am sorry Mama! I am sorry...
All I can promise is to make you proud one day.

No matter how scared you are  
No matter how deep you go
in a dark place filled with pain.
The creator of stars will
hold your hand
And pull you out
in the morning sun.

With a torch in my hands


I look for happiness in the dark.
