I confess…
I have not always been strong,
nor have I always known where I belong.
So many times I fell so low,
rose again,only to lose my flow.
I let fear carry me away,
let life strike me down, come what may,
I surrendered to storms, let them win,
let rains of sorrow pour within.
I confess…
My weakness wore the crown,
each one a scar that weighed me down.
I did not believe in who I could be,
anxious hands were choking me.
I would close life’s door so tight,
not even the sun could bring me light.
Darkness became my closest friend,
a mask of lies without an end.
And then one day,
I told myself: “Enough of this!”
This life was never meant for an abyss.
Don’t let the grey invade your mind,
don’t turn against your own kind.
It’s time to wake, to finally see,
you understand yourself most deeply.
You’ve felt the worst that life can do,
don’t you think better days are due?
And suddenly, a strike, so clear,
a reminder life is precious here.
It’s time to spread these wings of mine,
to rise more fierce, more strong, more fine.
I confess…
Today I stand a stronger soul,
the past behind me, dark and whole.
Yet I don’t see it as defeat,
for from those ashes, I found my feet.
