Verse 1
I was caught red handed.
I put everyone to shame.
I didn’t know who I could be,
till I ran the other way.
I held my fist high,
and made everyone listen close.
wasn't ‘gonna’ do what I was told.
This is my reality.
Chorus
So stop,
and take a look at me
and not my insecurities.
I will not burn because of you.
I will be fine.
Verse 2
And maybe one day
you’ll see all my pain.
So be careful of what you say.
The world can see you’re fake.
(Chorus)
Verse 3
A force within me is screaming,
as it echo’s off the ceiling.
You gave me a reason
to fight for something more.
(Chorus)

This is just a lyrical poem abut my mother and the hardships I had to face. (My best friend Kelli helped me through it all.)

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
