She Lives

She Lives

A Poem by Maria Isabella

(1st Verse)

From the bottom of the abyss which they call my soul

I am reaching for some hope

Praying I can learn how to float

Slowly teaching myself the lesson of self-control

 

(2nd Verse)

Deny the freedom of anyone who does her harm

For her I would take someone's life

If one was to violate her pride

I'd cut out there ignorance with a knife

Leaving them lying, bleeding from the heart

 

(Chorus)

I lie, tonight

I break to tomorrow

I'm okay, I'm fine

Though my heart's filled with sorrow

I cry, I die

Rush to stop the bleed

I'm awake, I'm alive

Though I'm surrounded by memories .....

 

(3rd Verse)

From the cradle of life which the call the heart

I am reaching for some light

Begging for you to be kind

Slowly learning how to walk in a straight line

 

(4th Verse)

Deny the freedom of anyone who does her harm

For her I would take someone's life

If one was to violate her pride

I'd cut out there ignorance with a knife

Leaving them lying, bleeding from the heart

 

(Chorus)

I lie, tonight

I break to tomorrow

I'm okay, I'm fine

Though my heart's filled with sorrow

I cry, I die

Rush to stop the bleed

I'm awake, I'm alive

Though I'm surrounded by memories .....

 

(Bridge)

But why, somehow, someday, someplace

I'll find the strength to accept the past

I'll find the joy in life to brighten my heart

Lay down my life, but I know these memories won't erase

 

(Chorus)

I lie, tonight

I break to tomorrow

I'm okay, I'm fine

Though my heart's filled with sorrow

I cry, I die

Rush to stop the bleed

I'm awake, I'm alive

Though I'm surrounded by memories .....

 

(Chorus)

I lie, tonight

I break to tomorrow

I'm okay, I'm fine

Though my heart's filled with sorrow

I cry, I die

Rush to stop the bleed

I'm awake, I'm alive

Though I'm surrounded by memories .....
