She’s a masterpiece, a work of art
A woman with a golden heart
Sewn together with tenderness and love
An angel sent from up-above
She’s a mother, a sister, a daughter too
She’s a best friend who'll always be there for you

Even when tears roll down her face
She manages to smile and assure you it'll all be okay
She tries her damnedest to make everything right
She’ll protect you, she will, for you she will fight

She carries her burdens with such ease
It’s only when you look into her eyes that you will see them beneath
She wears her heart on her sleeve every day of her life
She’s a phenomenal woman, you'd better look twice

She’s a mother, a sister, a daughter too
Be glad that she is the perfect woman, yes it is true
Take heed of her love, her caring side
For if you do not, you might lose sight

She’s a phenomenal woman, that’s what she is
She is inside all of us; she’s the woman in me…….

If only you could look into my heart I know you would see how afraid I am
afraid of the unknown, afraid of the known

What you did demolished my soul and destroyed me
Yet I still allow you to control my life
Every decision, every guy,
Every encounter spurred on by the fact that you took what meant the most to me

I found that I've been punishing myself
I've been too afraid to let go of the past hurt
Too afraid to be hurt by another
So I let them take what they want only to lose a piece of myself each time

I will no longer be a victim and stand by watching my life go astray
Today I will fight, fight for what I once had that was taken from me
Fight for what I want and what I believe
But most of all I will fight for the girl I used to be

The girl I was before
The girl whose scarred heart you took and ripped open
Open for every other guy to make a mockery of
Her self-esteem gone in those few moments, changing everything

Today I will fight not only for me but for every other girl and women who's been through the same
You destroyed me now watch me pick up the pieces and make myself whole again

You will not win
You will not get the satisfaction
I am a strong, independent women
but most of all
I AM A SURVIVOR

I've ripped out my heart and given it to you
Yet you torment me in everything I do
I try to make you smile
But that only happens for a while

You watched me fall and flashed a wicked smile
“you’ll never be someone else’s you'll always be mine”
The words uttered from your mouth in ghastly tone
“stand up and smile so the whole world will know”

All I am is yours yet I cannot have you completely
So what I'm about to do will ruin you undoubtedly
It’s time for me to take my heart back
You've certainly had it for a while
Now watch me turn around and walk away with a smile

The time has come to move on to bigger and better things
So eat your heart baby because never again will I let you win……

I eagerly await your morning text
It’s always so exciting, not knowing what will happen next
I must be crazy, I must be insane
You're my addiction, heart, body, brain

When I need a fix you’re always a call away
I never want you to leave, please say you'll always stay
You make me happy in so many ways
I'm glad that our paths have crossed and you’re mine always

I could lose everything, it could ruin my life
If people knew I would get sliced and diced
And yet, in your arms are the safest I've ever felt
With you by my side I know we can take a stand

Let me hold your hand while you hold mine
Walk beside me, let’s face this malignant tempest side by side
We can do it; we can get through it all

The way you look at me when we make love
You touch my soul with every ******
I realized that I've fallen in love with you
But I cannot have you

For you are hers and she is yours and I am but nobody's
I cannot have you, it hurts that I can’t
But please don't go let’s make this our secret little love
I can't make it stop I can't tell you to stay but baby please don't make this go away

I love you, yes it’s true but alas I cannot have you

When life falls apart

Staring at the girl in the mirror
All I see is fear and wonder……what ghastly horrors she’s been through
Alas, she still stands even though she’s broken and bruised
Her eyes a storybook for all to see
Yet no one notices her, only me
Her life is a joke, an open book
She tries as much as she can to make every man hurt with her seductive looks

She’s strayed far beyond who she was
Even the God she once worshipped she’s afraid to crawl to and ask….
Forgiveness? She deserves no such thing
Torture her, stone her, she deserves to feel
Rip her heart out in front of her; she’s the one to blame

The floor has fallen beneath her feet; she keeps running but where should she be?
Don’t pity her or she will cling to you, independence? That’s what she says she has
Yet she’s the most dependant, needy person you have ever met

Do not pick her up just watch her fall
She shouldn't be alive, no, not all
She was nothing more than a mistake

The people who love her have probably lost their minds
What can she do to make all her problems go away?
There’s a little voice that keeps telling her there’s only one way
She sits night after night contemplating suicide
Too afraid to let go, yet she holds on to a world of nothing, she’s got nothing, no one

When life falls apart, all she does is stare
Take the blade and cut yourself, you know you deserve to feel the flare
Now she lies in a box, her soul to hell for giving up

Do not think about her no, she deserves the eternity of torture she’s ****** herself to
Just forget her; she was no more than a speck of dust
You’d be wasting your tears if you cried over her too much

She’s finally gone; I have rid myself of her
I am no longer the girl that I used to fear
She’s laid to rest, forgotten and dead

With all this life I can but be glad, the almighty my king has removed all that dread
I am stronger, wiser, more courageous than I ever thought I could be
All thanks to the Glory of my God, I owe my victory

Watch me move mountains, be in awe of what I achieve
It’s because the God that loves me gave me that second to breathe
I am a women destined to do great things
Now step aside as my light shines as bright as the stars in the sky
My life, a new world to open up my eyes
Watch me fly above the star-filled skies, you can have it too all you have to do is try…

— The End —
