DENA
Take me as I am or not at all
You may see glimpses beyond my wall
See this armor that I wear
Look inside you'll find me there
Baby girl your innocence shattered
Hiding pain is all that mattered
Just because she acted out
That fear and anger that she felt
Made to feel that she was wrong
Unruly child just move along
Unanswered questions still in my head
Something evil wanted that little girl dead
The darkness stole her childhood
Then tried to take her child too
See her stronger than all that
Surviving evils, bouncing back
Now her story must be told
A legacy like precious gold
Stand and look into her face
Marvel at her poise and faith
There's still work that needs to be
To calm the baby's rage in me
But I'm nearly at the verge
To cast off armor and emerge
Daring to Experience New Awareness
