All I ever wanted was to be happy. It was stripped by the demon under my soul. All I ever wanted to be beautiful, It was stripped by the words that my mind control. All I ever wanted to do is scream happiness But my tears overruled. All I ever wanted was to be accepted. But.... I could not let go of the lies my lips spoke I didn't let my heart demand success I always victimized myself. I say change , but what is change when I am blindly impaired to what is hope? I am more than the world sees me. I am Nicole Joann Corea I wanted to be strong through the dark tunnels. Light will illuminate, I will sing through the somber moments. Ignite my dormant motivation. Let there be no more I can't or excuses I have come far, I survived. I am beautiful I am smart I am capable I love me I discover, I am and always be Nicole Joann Corea
