before

daddy never held her
in his arms
only yelled and
abused her mom
she's never seen
what love really is
now she sells herself
thinks thats all it is

see the girl on the tv
she's prettier than i could ever be
i believe this about myself
skin deep is the beauty i believe

no one ever told her
the jewel thats inside
that she's not a sex object
but the beautiful wife
of a King who would guide her
closely through her life
give her more love than she could accept
like she was the only one
lift her up, hold her close
meet the one that loves her most

she can still find this..




after

my soul feels like a fresh spring day;
the sun is shining
the leaves of green reflecting light, vibrantly
the air is clean, birds singing

my favorite thing is love
and that's how i feel: loved.
every bit of me.
free to be me
free to love others
i love myself

my broken heart is not here anymore,
instead,
love.
i care about myself

i dont find security
in how i look
or in another man's eyes

just want to reach out and
touch anyone i can

    I'm glad the "after" turned out to be ok
    things can change :)
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?
  • I loved it! Just fantastic! I loved that new life/love was found in ones self and that now, that one can give love freely! Pretty covers are nice but the pages in between are what tell the story of true love and beauty!

    I am touched! :) Keep it up!
