Shame No More

Eyes that tell the truth,
Lips that tell the lies,
Inside, lost and abandoned,
Each day a piece of her dies.

She looks and sees this person,
She doesn't know who she's become,
Once so strong and beautiful,
But she feels her time is done.

She must move on from here,
Leave her past behind,
Use the pain to lift her up,
And free her lonely mind.

No longer will she be a victim,
Or shy from her reflection,
Hurt is just a part of life,
From that there's no protection.

She'll lose the shame, she's come to learn,
And pride will take its place,
She'll take the time to live and love,
Find a warm embrace.

She'll find those eyes that tell the truth,
And lips that tell no lies,
She'll pack her bags, moving on,
And say no last good byes.

She'll leave behind the hurtful words,
And fists that stole her will,
She'll find the courage to never look back,
The strength to climb that hill.

The mirror will no longer shame her,
The bruises all have gone,
She'll find her path and walk it,
As sure as night turns into dawn.
