I build these bones to battle these sticks and stones
Today I pave my way for tomorrow.
Today I seek my pen and write these words
I fashion my fingers to play these chords
I reach within myself and find that voice
I sing out today is my tomorrow.
I'm ridding my closet of all its skeletons
I'm slowly killing off these demons
I fit my feet in familiar shoes
Retracing my steps, I'm back seated in church pews
My mind captured by the preacher's sermon.
So I swallow Bible verses and teachings while slowly my priorities no longer aimlessly roam
And like the prodigal child today I find my way back home.
Today I love because I can
Like this feeling seeps helplessly through my veins
Embedded permanently in my brain
An evasion would be negligence of the woman I am
The woman I yearn to be
Soaked in this sea of reality
My hopes and dreams keep my head above water
I refuse to drown
I can't be held down
Convince myself its a case of mind over matter
Today I'm a lover and a fighter.
Today I make my own decisions and accept responsibility, no regrets
I face this black and white world head on, no color effects
The girl lives on but the woman's in control
I'm refreshed, renewed
Mind, body and soul.
I keep living, keep learning, keep teaching myself what I should know
It's for my today. Its for my tomorrow.
i like this much. the tone. of renewed determination and progress. nice one caterpillar. :P
