Nov 2012
I can see a new day, when I view aspirations for the future,
Now when I awake, I give thanks for the roof over my shoulders.
I used to pray, not to the God you all know.
But to the darkness inside, asking it to please go.
These thoughts in mind, aren't giving me release.
So I set fire to my mind, and realized the true benefit of having peace.
With my Body, My identity, and the person I was destined to be.
I used to sit and wonder how it could possibly be,
A girl with such intelligence ended living life like she was lost in a dream.
I am tired and sick of what I've become to be.
Today, is the Greatest day I have ever known. I will not live for tomorrow, Tomorrow's much to long.
