As I walk on this dirt road Old memories start to unleash They envelope me Consuming all my dreams I think of her again And every other person I have been I look back and realize I was absent from my own life My knees feel like giving in The horrors keep creeping in A road to nowhere This is more than just a sentence This is exile from my own being They robbed so much of my life For me there was no spring No morning dew No rain Just a desert Yet it felt like winter The song of a bird brings me back The sound of the ocean ignites my fire Hope invades my lungs And I realize, this is my life As my steps quicken I start to undress I let the wind caress my breasts As I submerge I feel the waves They welcome me like an old friend Just like that my world transforms Just like that I claim my power back My wounds may still bleed at times But I won't let them break me I will tend to them and mend them I will not deny my pain I will not reject the ones who got hurt I will embrace them until they are no longer scare As I wrap my arms around myself My heart rejoices and my body vibrates Like earth reborn after a fire My spirit is now fertile I will plant it with oak tress and flowers My garden I will tend For this is my life And this will not be my end.
