ARE YOU READY

Childhood trauma and broken dreams 
Broken relationships and inner screams 
Afflicted and neglected abandoned as a child 
These were the bricks that built your life
Taking you on an emotional roller coaster ride

You sought for the attention 
You never had
Looking into the eyes of your lovers 
For that security and comfort 
You have never experienced 
From your unknown dad

They used you, and abused you
Filling your mind with empty promises 
Then leaving you pregnant for the third time 
To recycle those hurtful feelings 

That's how I met you
Despondent and distraught 
But as I looked deep inside your fragile mind 
I saw a beautiful person 
With a wonderful heart 

But you must see yourself 
As a beautiful rose and not just thorns 
And until you relinquish your stagnated past
My love for you remains crippled 
And unable to move on.

ARE YOU READY?
