Tears slowly fall
From eyes blue
as the sky
Letting everything out
But not letting anything go
All the mean words said
All the names she has been called
Holding on to them
She is
getting stronger
She wipes away the tears
She hasn't done anything wrong
She realized
She looked at the blood on her hand
And the blood seeping from a fresh cut
She washes it away
She finally realized what so many others already knew
She wasn't ugly
She was beautiful
inside and out
She'd been called ugly and fat
She belived that
Called a w h o r e
Because she had a baby
After she had been raped
Nobody knew that
She picked up her baby
And all the sadness left
Her life had a meaning to it again
She almost threw all of it away
She realized there was no reason to leave
Everything she needed was in her arms
