Pocket Full of Soul

I was always the girl who had her head in the clouds And her mind long gone But you always found a way to knock me down So that I could come back to reality I never wanted to face what was in front of me. Countless times I would ask God Why this is happening to me And where it would lead I remember growing up In a broken atmosphere With no sun to see But most of all I remember what he took from me The day I cried for someone to save me While being taken on the cold kitchen floor Was the day I became a Fragile shell of my former being You never once said you were sorry Not even when we pass each other on the street How could you to do this To a child Your own flesh and blood And not care how much it hurts me? You would rather turn a blind eye But I know you see I once was a hollow shell But over the years I've learned some things I've learned that though things aren't perfect You teach people how to treat you I never thought my innocence would be taken so coldly It caused me to grow up and change My reflection mimics all of the these painful things. The scars shine through in everything I do. There are times when I feel As though I can't shake this heartache I am the splitting image of shame But now it's time to fight I want my soul back Along with my inner light You stole a piece of me that I will never get back But that doesn't mean I can't be reinvigorated with new life I stand tall, holding my head up high Knowing you will never again get the satisfaction of Seeing me cry Or die a little more inside I fight for my freedom Breaking away from your binding chains I fight for knowledge and respect So that I will never again feel the icy breath of neglect Now is the time for change I will never allow you to control me ever again I stand here alone With my pocket full of soul And know that There is no place I can't go.
