Reveal thy true self



Mask off back in front of the mirror again,but this time with strong conviction a change has finally come.. That girl that use to cry endless nights losing herself every night not recognizing the face that stared back at her, she's beginning to find her way and keeping those that hurt her away. She was no good she allowed herself to be beaten ,abused and broken,shattered into a million pieces not knowing when it would all end. Everytime she tried to smile and delight in the sunlight those dark clouds would linger casting a shadow of doubt inflicting fear.. reminding her she wasn't going anywhere. Gave up on her hopes and dreams surrendered to her greatest fears barricaded into loneliness into the darkness where she disappeared.One day after she had all she could take she ran away..crying out to her father please hear me and heal me take me to a better place and show me the path on which i should follow and so she did and now many years later she's here again.. Rise my beautiful queen mother of earth and everything great..power within no one can intimidate for now she's flying free.. delicate and gentle sweet and loving has all been returned to me now that I see never to be taken away from me.. A smile that can lighten up any room no longer do I have to hide I've found my place where true love does reside..Within me yes so I claim my victory..

And still I must go on..Trials and tribulations faced some with defeat but in my heart is my victory..Mother of four for who I do it for on my own since fifteen and still I go on. more…
