Through Pain and Shame

I'm not a girl made from honey and glass...
And though I didn't rise from the ash,
I've been beaten and broken.. bruised and burned

"Get your head out of the clouds," they say...
But it's not my fault I'm trapped in a daze.

"The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows" they scream...
I whisper to myself "why am I not allowed to dream?"

"Wake up.. this isn't a fantasy world!" They shout...
I ask "how else am I supposed to keep everything down?"

My head isn't in the clouds, it's full of self-doubt.
I want to see sunshine and rainbows.. or any other color.
I'm tired of seeing monochrome gray every day.
And I don't wanna be in a fantasy... I wanna be free...

This is how I was made.. through pain and shame.
