I Am Me

He went away, She was alone, You came into the picture; Because she chose you. A new life was good, Then change came, And there I was in a frame; Uplifted, upheld. First I was unaware, I was just a child, A slave became I; The pain was real. You over looked, As always you did not care, I was scared; Felt so alone. Choices had to be made, But what road would I take? So unsure, broken, taken; No time to waste. He came along, Took me in, You hated him; I hated you. Didn’t know I could, Handle it on my own, Didn’t know I was stronger; Than “ do as I’m told “ Forced to be. Who I never wanted to be, He brought out in me a strength; Renewed, happiness is real. You could just die, I wont let you ruin me, I’m going to be; More than I knew I could be. You will see, Away from you, A part from pain; I am me! This brokeness inside will heal, Their wont be anymore pain, That tragedy of my past; The tears, the pain, hurt and fear. He saw through them all, He didn’t let me fall, He reminded me of who I am; When you didn’t care. I was scared, Felt threatened, Full of regret; But he seen me. He wont forsake me in my weakness, His love is written on my heart, I’m going to be over you; The hate will fade. I will be stronger, My heart will beat longer, I have the rest of my life; I’m going to be me! You can’t take my future, Or draw the curtains anymore, No more ball and chain; I am free. I have pulled the plug, Down the drain you go, I’m seeing the world through new eyes; The sun is shining again. I’m not scared anymore, I’m not afraid to reach out, A voice in the wilderness; Crying out was I. He had an ear, He heard me, When no one else could; He saw Me! Rosemarie Schrock june 3, 2011
