I'm a survivor,
I'm not gonna give up,
I'm not gon' stop,
I'm gonna work harder,
I'm a survivor,
I'm gonna make it,
I will survive,
Keep on survivin',
I'm a survivor,
I'm not gonna give up,
I'm not gon' stop,
I'm gonna work harder,
I'm a survivor,
I'm gonna make it,
I will survive,
Keep on survivin'.

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

What is love?


Letting go
Of a crystal
You see a sparkle
Appear; a smile
From thoughts
That are deep within

It bubbles like a fountain
Piercing the rainbows waterdrop
Deep down you look
It spreads across you
Filling you with wonder

How Why When?
And then you smile
Now I know
This is here forever
It will not go

A feeling of completeness
A feeling of danger gone
You continue to walk
A smile comes your way again

Then the smile turns to a grin
As the love begins to build
It starts off fresh and new
And then develops into an aching

Your soul calling; a nearness
Seeing them in your minds eye
Understanding they are there
Regardless

When you are sick; they are there
Fighting for you when you cannot
When you are tired, they take over,
Allowing you to sleep

When you are angry, they fight back
But they will understand and forgive
Because we are all here
Being with you is lightness; it brings
Happiness that I did not know before

Love is bountiful, it brings much joy
A sweet surrender of your heart to another's
An understanding of two
Allowing you to be you.

Poems

"I didn't tell anyone, (my secret).  It's done me damage though, keeping it all inside I never got close to anyone when I could have.  I was afraid people could see right into me so I always kept a certain distance.  I ended up building my life around my secret, without realizing it.

 

Now I see it.  If you hide part of yourself, no one ever really knows you.  You pay a high price if you let shame fence you in."
