made me worthy.
Because you did,
I was deserving.
And now that you do not
I am no longer.
That is askew.
I know it.
But, I still feel it.
and I no longer want to feel it.
because my face is in the dirt
let the flowers bloom out of my heart
even if it will hurt
with this pain I will grow
with my experience I will know
at times bad comes with the good
lean my head back and let it flow
let the rain fall and fall
soak my shirt and my life
saturate the earth of my soul
and let it grow, just let it grow
I am alive
my heart beats wild
nothing can douse
the hope in the child
the flames grew
as the girl did, too
and the woman tonight
is all fire and light
yes she is, still, on the darkest night
filled with strength of fire and light
