I want to be happy
I want to be angry
I want to be sad
I want to be me
In each moment while I smile
Remember the years
Of dreams fulfilled, and troubled steps
Of a past with needles
Promises in thin air
Hope for a day like today
Forgiveness walked by, as I closed my eyes
And awoke to a new start
New names, new walls, new promises
How did I fall?
In a new past
It is here nonetheless
Six months and goodbye
Anxiously awaiting, nine months in the womb
After climbing new steps
A vision so near, within reach of my embrace
The warmth of its sun
The peace of its breeze
The calm of its still waters
My reflection shining through
White doves all around
As I smile once again
The flood of pain washed away
I am here, not alone
But with myself
I am sad, I am angry
I am afraid, I am happy
I am fulfilled
My vision at hand
Shall you join?
No longer am I counting
I move ahead stronger
My heart one with my soul
My future built of many today's
My past now a distant memory
No longer on my shoulders
No longer in my eyes
For I have changed
I am now me
