I know this now
And so should
You

All that I’ve endured
And been put
Through

But don’t you try
No, don’t you
Dare !

To tell me that
I shouldn’t go
There

That this was my doing,
I should’ve known not
To

For you don’t have
A clue what I’ve been
Through

I wouldn’t simply
Sign my happiness
Away

Sell my soul to the
Devil on bright sunny
Day

What I condoned,
I so deeply
Condemned

So, why did this
Not stop me
Then?

Perhaps I did not
Think that I
Deserved

More than the poor
Treatment I was
Served

I cannot explain my
Mind: so
Incomprehensible

And you say I should’ve
Been more
Sensible

But until you have
Trudged in my
Shoes

Shut your mouth
Withhold your
Views

I did not know
How to nurture
Myself

At the time I
Needed the
Help

That “sweet” care
he gave went a
Long way

I was blind when
I let myself be led
Astray

And I gave and
I gave so
Abundantly

Only to become
The epitome of
Redundancy

To be loved was
My most burning
Need

So much so, that I tried
To satisfy his
Greed?

You stone and shun
Me with your
Shame

You brutally tell me
That I am to
Blame

But my dear, until you
Know what I’ve been
Through

Respect me, for one day
It might be
You...

Out a ferocious flames
A Phoenix is reborn:

Likewise, she’ll ascend
From the ashes and
Transform...

If only you possessed
The power
To see

All that you are and
All that you’ll
Be

Tell me, what is sight
Without the sense of
Perception?

What good is imagination
Without any
Invention?

Thus, hold onto your hopes
For glorious days
Lay ahead

One cannot follow
Dreams that are
Dead

And do not think
Your vast visions
To be foolish

For many wondrous things
Did begin with
A wish...

Sweet Soul, look to
The Sun.
Tell me, what does she
Symbolize?

That you are a
Resilient one,
Who’ll defeat darkness
And Rise!
