A New Beginning

Silenced by those who didn't see my worth 

I lost my way but found my words 

They looked at me like I didn't belong on this earth 

But poetry was there to allow me to be heard  

It opened my eyes and unsealed my lips  

When I had no voice because I was voiceless  

I wanted to give up, I wanted to quit 

But I was able to see that from sorrow can come greatness    

I rose from my darkness and out of the ashes came  

A girl who knew she was no longer the same   

She was finally living

Because she had gotten her new beginning.
