My life was an uncontrollable storm
It was nothing of what people thought of as the norm
My soul was shook
From all of the pride that had been took
I was stripped of my innocence and youth
By individuals who were extremely uncouth
Lies and betrayal were all locked in my heart
For if I would have spoken lives would have been torn apart
Although individuals in my life caused such pain and envy
I’ve lain the anger down for I knew if I didn’t they’d get the
victory
The victory of knowing they hurt me
And the victory of knocking my dreams out of range to see
Although I have felt the pain of life for too long
I still thank God every morning for allowing me to hear His
birds' song
