New ******* the rise
it's the same old but without the bind
Today things went my way: I did not break
I could handle the whole, and the whole was okay.
I smiled the whole day.

I am a woman fracturing her shell
this is something no one did expect
at some point, not even myself
But here I am
Wave goodbye the tears. I've been through this.
The gate opens. I want to take the lead.
It's coming closer, I just can't turn and leave
I won't turn and leave.

You said to me:
The better version of you does not cry every night.
I say: I am deep, I am strong, I am fine! I can!
The better version of you looks into the Sun
and does not go blind! The mist does not blur your eyes!
It's not beauty and it's not true or any good
to dwell on the grim parts, to hold on languidly,
rabidly
to gloom

What's the secret, you'll say?
No secret, shh, it's as easy as it gets
but it can't be spoken, it gets lost
Shh! Tell no one.
