Through broken glass and faded dreams, br I find a place where I can scream, br This pain is huge and takes me over, br I cannot smell the scent of clover, br I kneel down and count my blessings, br For sometimes life is distressing, br I make my way through each raw minute, br Feeling blessed that I'm still in it, br This life is hard but I go on, br It's my soul journey to walk upon, br I look out from my mind's eye, br Never questioning or asking why, br I know that whatever happens to me, br Is to teach and set me free, br A life taken for granted is not good cause, br Take a breath to think and pause, br I am strong and intelligent, br I know I live with good intent, br The shackles that I once wore, br Can't contain me anymore, br I am free and fly my wings, br Appreciating every thing, br Being true to who I am, br Upon my bravery I do stand.
