truth is my healing
Truth is my healing.
I sought righteousness,
I prayed…
I’ve been waiting for this moment to come,
This time, I will not be afraid.
My innocence was robbed.
I was terrified of death sentence…
Wept my tears every night,
About bedtime stories turned to nightmares
His memories, his existence…
Barred with fear for decades
I was scared to be chased…
I ran away from what haunts me
But I’m prisoner of my own truth
That can’t be erased.
I was a prey every breakfast
I was a taste of his cravings…
When my life became as sour as f***
My world turned upside down
Grudges became my big savings.
Forced to be silent…
Now a force to be reckoned with
Truth is my healing…
Ultimately, I deserve a peace mind
Unappalled and glowing.
