Journey


Its been a long journey

A long journey for me

A journey that's still going some of it i cannot see

Some is good

Some is bad

I feel like the hard part is over

But I will never know until the journey is over

I've been beaten

I've been controlled

I've been scared

I've been terrified

I've been afraid 

I was even close to going insane

I've com so far in my journey

I've decided to break the chains and set myself free

Cant you see a smile that wasn't there before

My face is glowing like the night shining stars

I've come so far

I am free

This beautiful young lady that you see

Is never turning back from what she once escaped
