I try to make my mark by shining a light to all
But the tattoos of pain and humiliation make me feel small.
I try to be my unique self – my very own brand
But the weights of pressure make me feel it’s out of my hand.
I try to be kind and loving to all I know
But the chains of hate make me feel I should hide in the snow.
But as I turn and take a look shoreward
I know that the hope I have will keep moving me forward.
