Dance Soul, Dance

Let the fear drip down from your tears, 
Wipe away all that sorrow and pain from all those years,
Because you are now here.

You are now here young soul,
Just find out which way you need to go,
Move whichever way your body wants to flow,
you can now dance, 
Underneath the moonlight to only let go and feel this freedom flow through your stance,

Feel free young soul because you deserve this chance,
To just close your eyes and move with the clouds that lay under the moon,
With no worries or care that someone will get you soon,

Feel free young one for the pain you carry is engraved into your cells,
Just for once let go and let all that hatred go to hell,

You have worked so hard and succeeded so well while carrying all that baggage of scars and trauma,
You've put on that smile while wearing  underneath your skin all those scars that every person you've met placed on you from all of their own drama,

Hold your head up high young woman and just dance with the wind, shine like the stars, and be at peace with the galaxy for your the warrior of true innocence and purity,

Just be one with yourself tonight because love you deserve this freedom,
Let the world bow down to you and let the ground lay at your feet,
Be at rest and do not retreat,
For its for once about you so be at peace,
Lay down your sword for one night,
And just live in this moment because you are now here,
Finally be alive without any worry or fear.

Just let it drip down, close your eyes, and just dance.

Caged

Sweaty palms, dirty nails leak through the metal rails,
With that open window over there, 
The light shines upon my tips making the thought of freedom to exist in this room filled with darkness,
My past creeps to me like a mist and causes my aching chest to weigh deep,
I take every breath slowly to only prevent myself from feeling defeat,
Body shrinks into a ball hiding from the ways of death, then I break, my sohl is just screaming from all of these years that's passed, how much more is my body willing to take,
Only I can escape from the bars that I've caged myself in,
The space that's left that surrounds me shrinks smaller in size and it's something I can no longer move around in,
Get myself out and break free from the thoughts of being surrounded by darkness,
Take off the chains that I feel slaved in,
Look at the light through that open window and force myself to fight off my weakness,
Light shine upon me,
Light heat my body,
Light let me flow through you out of this cage,
Start with my finger tips and let me escape,
To my natural form of state that I am ment to not only walk but live in,
Break me from this curse that intertwines my mind and my sohl that I found myself to coincide with,
I'm walking to an edge where the rope is at its end, 
Break free from my mental state so I can no longer hang and so I can make amends,
For I am sorry and responsible for locking myself up,
Beating myself up instead of building myself up,
Clean myself up and lift myself up,
Out the cage and window I go,
With my sweaty palms and all, I will grow,
Break out of my mental state and let my sohl be free,
Let my own light shine upon me,
And let my actions and words be my shining steed,
Because I will break out of this cage, break free from my mental state, and live  as I should, bare feet, walk across this grain of sand, light please fire up my sohl as I walk, live, and breathe on this land, 
Now I am ready,
From my life, darkness you are now banned

Whats Perfect

Driving for perfection has always been so unrealistic,
what's perfect these days is what others seem to be which is so optimistic,
I cant say that I am lying because my verse isn't to guide you into the wrong direction,
I'm just telling my story from my life experience that had taught me some valuable lessons,
I don't want you to worry, I was raised to be so independent in the way to survive, the only thing I need right now is some reassurance, but the world can do you dirty, the wrong reassurance can be a lie, so be careful who you trust, I learned that from the beginning, being true to yourself is a must, and learn from your sinning,  
Being just human gives people excuses to do what they want to do,
I admit I am one but now I'm moving forward making my way through,
I apologize to too many but not within myself,
its time to forgive myself, take care of my health, and let the past be for others to dwell, because I know I am not perfect but I'm not going to hell,
Jesus is my language and that's another story I will tell,
I fought through temptation, starvation, a sinner at best,
lying to you is unrealistic, trust me, I've been through all the tests,
the only thing close to perfect is my broken story to show you what's possible when you thought all was lost, I swear to you it's not over, it all just begun. 
Just don't drive for perfection,
Be true to you in the best way 
live to your happiness
every single day.

Breathe

BREATHE

Can't move
I can't breathe
is it anxiety and depression that lays deep

Try to recover
I try to go to sleep
the next morning the sun rises up and I'm back to feeling so weak

I am not who I used to be
but I am not at my best
I just feel like a mess

Let's tune in.

Music comes on and I am back to that fast beat
imagining my world and myself winning
walking over the troubles and planting new seeds
that's what I do
girl this is you

getting routines done
that's right
it feels great
challenges can come my way
because I got this
everything is going to be ok.

The day is going my way because I didn't come here to play
it's near to the day is done
here we go again
breathe 
we can do this

Lets overcome.

but then once it gets quiet
darkness comes back to a form of my reality
thoughts suffocate my mentality
and then I can't move
I can't breathe

Back to the woman who deep down inside is fighting to get out of this habitat she created and which she believes is normal
is her reality

Let's go back.

I am not who I used to be
allowing my past events to be a chaotic form of being present
but I am not at my best
allowing excuses
maybe this is a lesson
breathe. 

Lets not give up.

At the Edge

staring down a dark black hole,
making sure that's not the way we go,
the edge we found ourselves once before,
staring down that dark black hole,

the taste we've had by the devils idea lead us to pain and a change we don't know how to carry, yet we still didn't give up so the thought of it is what we buried,


so we've worked so hard to find our way up back to the top,
to make sure we didn't stop,
to make sure we didn't get consumed again by the world and its chaos,
we hold our hands together and we keep our faith to our God,

so even if it means we must fuss and we must fight, 
I know we will keep hold our hands together and arms so tight,

for we will not let go even when things get hard,
for we will never let each other truly feel lonely, even in the dark,
for we will make sure we don't fall above the edge when things get challenging, 
because we will have each other, and we know that's the most important thing,

the dark black hole gets smaller in size as we heal into each others arms,
and so if it means I have to take in the pain that you still hold onto,
you will still be my angel and I will still be forever yours through truth,

tonight knowing I love you and tomorrow brings a new morning where we get to wake up to see each other brings me the most happiness I could ever imagine, I am still yours truly even when the dark black holes keeps appearing, 

because I know we won't be at the edge again.
