Look At You Now
On that cold July morning
Twenty something years ago
Hard decisions hard been made
To be removed and forgotten
So they went up the stairs to the doctor's clinic
He was ready to have you gone
She was unsure, hence decided to keep you
Her older son before his death, had seen in a dream that she would have three daughters
She knew after you, she had one more to go
Twenty something years down the line
You are a woman now, overwhelmed by a foreign land
Calculating how to deal with your current hardships
Looking forward for your big future achievements
Big goals, big dreams
But how big can a dream be, when you are about to do the same act that was almost done to you?
Tough decisions
The man behind the door
Always whispering, exciting, promising...
But look at him, he is behind the door for a reason
He is a liar and he knows your weak points
Working you with a string he does
So you can end up with him, like him
Tough decisions
Right now there are so many roadblocks
But roll down the window
Look at the green grass smoothly spreading
And sometimes you may spot a blooming flower
And believe. ....
That you can break through
Don't lose focus of who you are
Look at you now.
