self-pity's an easy road

Til you see how far you've really come

Then uncertainties implode

You used to be a quiet soul

hiding your feelings deep in ice

Never let them see you cared

For reaction was a vice

It kept you "safe" but full of tears

you ached to be loved and heard

You dreamed of walking among the crowds

instead of aloof and full of fears

It took a lengthy journey

you had to walk away from old scars

Until you left the place of pain

old triggers kept hitting you hard

You left behind a narrow role

shed who they told you to be

You learned the beauty of uniqueness

and the value of your identity

You found your voice along this road

You met souls who earned your trust

In speaking your truth you let love in

and self-expression became a must

Today you see a woman grown

one who shares her heart at all times

And no matter how her words are heard

She claims her power and speaks her rhymes

That will be a great day, Faith

You will find what you seek as long as you keep walking toward that goal.
