The Person I Have Become
Can I
ever be sure who I am?
Can I
ever be whole again?
I have
built a person I'm proud to be
But really
don't know if it is me
My faith
in God has seen me through
And helped
me assemble what is seen by you
I constructed
a woman of compassion and strength
But deep
inside the child who would go to any length
To get
the love she needs so badly
To forget
the past that left her hurt so sadly
Without
all the pieces to make her whole
And all
that blocked her off from her very soul
I have
accomplished building this person
Who can
look in the mirror and not run
I have
even learned to love her as well
But manys
the time when I lived in her hell
She never
will someone who will see
the whole
of herself for always she will flee
For this
person I built to live life with happiness today
Has made
many compromises along the way
So the
cost has been high and the road long
But to
herself she finally can belong
It took
going back to rescue her child
To share
the love to tame something wild
And the
greatest gift she gave herself
Was knowing
she could always be there for herself
And finding
a way to give of her love
To accept
the strength from above
I introduce
this person and Lynda Leigh is my name
And I
hope you like her and what she has become.
