I Am...
Green eyes
Teardrops like diamonds fall
The realization of lies
She has no one to turn to or call
Broken heart
Why must this always occur
Curled on the bed, she falls apart
Only seeming to effect her
Sudden rage
A fire lights in her soul
Defiance turns a page
She alone can fill this hole
Child grown
Her daddy took her hope
Abuse but not alone
Tears again choke in her throat
Precious voice
Hardened to the world
A wall defines her choice
She is protected against the cold
Delicate lips
Her only solace found in song
To the guitar her hands grip
Fear finally gone
Hopeful light
Dare she trust again?
Release a hold so tight?
Her heart cries "Ascend"
Deep void
Falling upon the sky
Her barrier all but destroyed
So happy she could cry
Green eyes
Realization dawns in their anterior
"I can" she decides
I am a warrior
