الاستيقاظ في الصباح،
للحظة وجيزة كل شيء هادئ ،...
Waking up in the morning,
For a brief moment all is calm,
Thoughts and memories creeping their way in,
Contemplating how could those that claim to love me could do so much
harm?
Chaining my mind and heart- constantly blamed,
Now hollow and cold inside- I was once she who could not be tamed, Pushing the thoughts as far back as I can,
Lifting the weight, the pressure, to stand,
I focus my thoughts and remind myself of who I am,
The hollowness is being filled with care for myself,
I am not who they want me to be,
I am just me.
Me.
