Who Am I

Who am I but the little girl that cries?
I weep on the inside and not from my eyes
I feel like my life is surrounded by lies
Much like old food is surrounded by flies
 
Who am I but the little girl that cries?
I often yearn for the day I meet my demise
I walk these roads covered in a disguise
Living a life where there is no compromise
 
I look to the sky and I wish and I dream
I dream for hope for a glimmer of peace
I can’t stop the pain caught up in my heart
I don’t know where it ends I don’t know where it starts
 
I want to be happy I want to be free
I want to be loved I want to be me
I want to know where in life I lost myself
Did I cry out in pain did I cry out for help
 
Help me understand where I disappeared 
So indecisive and overwhelmed with fear
I’m floating along this river downhill 
Screaming for help with no one to hear
 
I’m sorry if this poem is so blue
But I feel as though all I have is you
Thank you for loving me back to life
You give me the courage to fight off the strife
 
Who am I but a little girl that’s weak?
Too weak to fight too weak to speak
No interest in love no inspiration to care
Just floating through life with the wind in my hair

If

If I had one wish I’d wish to be free
Free from all trials, free as the breeze
Free to think aloud without any contempt
Free to be included and not always exempt

If I had one thought I would think of your love
I’d think of how your heart fits mine like a glove
I’d think of how warm and safe it is in your arms
I’d think of how your smile eases pain like a charm

If I had one act I’d show kindness abound
I’d feed all the hungry people in every single town
I’d build homes for those with no shelter above
I’d buy cars for those who are forced to walk in the mud

If I could live one life I’d live mine all again
I’d take every opportunity to smile deep within
I’d spend more time with my son as his new life began
I’d take more time to show him that true love never ends

If I could love once again I’d choose to love more of me
I’d give myself much encouragement and self-love abundantly
I’d love the woman I was and the woman I’ve become
I’d spread my love to the masses hoping to touch at least one.
