Beautiful Scars Poet Lyric

Can I Be the One

I have dreams and high hopes for the coming new year.
Many aspirations that I must achieve with true ease. 
When this year ends and all the madness does cease
I shall bring forth good will without dread nor fear. 
O, I shall fall to my knees and love without displease. 

Can I be the one to make a difference?
May I take away all life’s sufferance. 

My house has needed much improved alteration.
I should paint rooms here and there without complaint. 
I know I would enjoy my living space if acquaint 
with my new furnishings of my own creative creation. 
I shall show myself I can be handy without restraint. 

Can I be the one to transform the earth?
May I show myself my treasured worth. 

I pray I can take time just for me to write poetry
more often so I can feel the comfort I used to feel.
For writing has always been the only way I heal,
I can only save myself from disdain and misery.
O, I must show my mind my gifts can be ideal. 

Can I be the one to express my soul?
May I try my best to fill my heart whole. 

I shall begin to bestow kindness more unto family
so that they can understand how I feel so abate. 
May I love without hate and genuine joy create,
showing how much I appreciate unconditionally. 
O, in multitude of faith and joy may I saturate.

Can I be the one who shows I can be me?
May I show God just how beautiful I can be.
