Strength

I am here

to reclaim my power

to step into a dream

that exists beyond the nighttime hour

Versions

I lost myself

in your ideas of me

I wanted to be everything

you wanted me to be

and between

all the versions

I tried hard to be

all the version

I wanted you to see

I lost the only thing I needed. . .

me

Light and Rain

From the ground, I asked the sky

Why has life brought love and pain?

The sky replied,

To know the sun

We have to meet the rain

The coldest days remind us

Warmth keeps us alive

Pain may feel like death

But through love

We survive
