I gather my rage To forge out a way To carve out my truth And live for the day My memories may fade I forgive but hold on My future is now My yesterday's gone I am the sum Of my every thought Of my every move And all I've been taught Time that has gone Nothing can change So I will embrace The choices I've made For all that I am I love myself So I can store My pride on the shelf Connected to all Living things that I see Now I exist By just being me.
