OUT OF THESE ASHES BEAUTY WILL RISE...
Turning the brokenness into something extraordinarily beautiful.

Child Of My Heart

Smiling, laughing, so bubbly...
That is what they see -
It’s such a masquerade.

Your anger, your bitterness...
Where does it come from?
Where will it lead?

The accusations, the mistrust...
Always mad at me -
Can you not just love?

So much, you have...
If you only knew -
Why must you be so discontent?

The future, I fear...
Will be much the same -
Lashing out, attacking the ones who love you.

Allow me to be human...
No one is perfect -
I’m still a good person.

A mother who loves you...
You’re a part of me -
My love will never cease.

I’m not such a bad person.
Why can’t you love me?
I really need you to.
