who are you was the question
so I have pondered that all day
I am a girl who has travelled a tangled path
with many dips and turns and twists
a labyrinth journey it has been
I have been at the bottom too often
had to crawl back up to the top
it was Gods hand that helped
and each time
I stood tall and began anew
oh my pen drips blood
I write my sadness with tears
but dear reader
these tears of sorrow
do not mean that I am weak
I have inside of me an unfathomable strength
my journey has brought me to this place in time
a place of tranquility and serenity
perhaps to reach paradise on earth
one must suffer
I know that I have something very special
for in my mind
there is a freedom to do anything I want
