Loving Me For a Lifetime

Wandering around I could feel I was losing Every ounce of me seemed so confusing My strength had left me, no longer strong Everything I did just felt so wrong Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness Acting like a zombie my mind froze still Losing every inch of power and will The light had gone there was nobody home Being trapped in a circus dome Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness But something within me pushed my soul Pulling me back from the darkest hole Igniting my senses I could suddenly feel Lifting me away from my Achilles heal Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness Just a curve which makes me rounded Keeping on my feet and staying grounded Reaching out for love and ignoring my being Searching for something without really seeing Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness Seeking hard and trying to find Looking out for others and being too kind Suddenly my eyes were fully open to see The person to love and cherish was me Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness Loving myself was so hard to do Searching my soul without feeling so blue Trusting senses and following notion Finally putting it all in to motion Loss and trauma had driven my madness Crying for help and feeling such sadness Now moving forwards with patience and grace Feeling love with a smile on my face Treasuring my heart in kinder ways Looking upward until the end of my days
