Poem
Sitting in this empty room Looking at broken pictures of me and you A broken life together I always thought we’d make it forever What has become of me? I never ever thought I would be One of those who were beaten down One of those who didn’t make a sound Silent when you pushed me around Silent when you covered my mouth Silent when you raised your hand Silent when you gave your commands But something deep within my soul Tells me to rise up and take control Take a hold of my lost self again Knowing if I don’t this might be the very end You will not break me down this way You will not darken my coming days I am stronger now you see And I will never let you kill the beautiful soul inside me I am someone who has a voice I am a woman who can make my own choice I don’t need permission to be free Or to discover the real woman inside me Discovering the strength and power within To let the bright shining sun shine in To let my heart feel free and bold To let my soul escape your choking hold I’ve come to realize just a few things That my life is worth more than two gold rings Sometimes it has to be that way For me to take ME back and then for me to say… I am a beautiful woman inside I will never ever run away and hide I will rise to the very top I won’t quit and I won’t stop There is nothing that I can’t do There is nothing left for me and you So now I surrender and just let go I am special this I know…..
