Stranger In Me

Looking like a woman...
thinking like a man...

somewhere inside...
where we all hide...

until courage comes a knockin'

Stand, run, or fight...

trauma was the thief of time...

regurgitated feelings...
familiar territory...

Soul been here before...

I gave it all away...

Memories stagnate my day...

Shield of strength repels me...

I chose to believe...rather than ignore...

Trauma is the strongest link...

To the stranger In Me...
