I'm swimming in an ocean, that seems to have no shore. A never ending pool of thoughts that were left there from before.
A diversity of wisdom that is mixed in with some pain, but there's no point in dwelling on my broken memory lane.

I've started thinking thoughts of love, and ways that i can cope. For happiness is possible, as long as i have hope.
You can't take that away from me for this i know is true, no matter how much hurt you caused i will get over you.

I'm always strong, dont get me wrong; no man can wear me down. Ill always have my dignity, a new love can be found.
When i meet that person ill hold on tight, and you can finally see.. The things that people do for love, that you wouldnt do for me.

For i will not be broken, and i will not feel bad. Cause i am not the one who lost the best thing that they had.

Right now my life is going places that I can't even describe.
I couldnt wish better than this, I earned this cause I tried.
I earned this cause my work is hard, and my words are quite sincere.
For poetry has been my life, and my dream for many years.

And even in my writing you can see a drastic change..
'Cause I dropped liabilities, and im writing free of rage.
The letters flow with passion that's descirbed by love and grace,
a way to take my anger and put greatness in its place.

A way of life I'll make of this, and I'm headed on that track.
So if I loose some "friends" that's fine, I still won't dare look back.
Maturity comes gradually, everyone learns this in time.
And I don't judge, or hold a grudge, but that show's ive done the climb.

I've grown into a woman that can over come some pain,
'cause see these words i write today from pain will be my gain.
Inspiration has many forms, I just harness it with rhyme.
No matter what the outcome, I know my writing will be prime.

See money isn't the goal I crave, but recongnition at it's best.
For life has put me through qutie a huge amount of tests.
But each one that is thrown at me has faded in the past,
cause one thing that i know is that my writing will always last.

So be happy for everything youve said to break me down.
For all your words will make my work easier than it sounds.
For every single hater, an artist will be born.
And every page they write, will live longer than your scorn.

So thank you for my wisdom, and thank you for your hate.
And thank you oh so ******* much, for making my life great.

If I could reach the stars, I'd put one in a box.
I'd wrap it up in paper, sealed with golden locks.

I'd leave it on your doorstep, and watch it as it glows.
I'd sit and watch the magic as night time starts to show.

And when you got back home, later on that night..
You'd see the star box glowing the brightest of the bright.

But as I saw you walking, the light would simmer down.
Cause baby yes it's bright, but your the only light I've found.

— The End —
