Ashes To Grace

My mother hid me from everyone
 While I  developed in the womb
MY father abandoned  me when I
Exited..

My cousins took my innocence
I lost my love  (my Granny)
I was stuck,hurt, and disgusted
 At  the tender age  9

Now at 29 nobody understands
Pain still linger and run deep
My soul ache  from the betrayal
Now im afraid to trust and love
Is lust..

They say time heals all wounds
I still cry and stare at the moon
Wondering, when is time gonna
heal my wounds?
It hurts to feel alone and rejected
by your own....

Then I had to remember im Queen
On her throne, I've made it this far
How can I not be strong? What hurt me
Has made me strong, Im a Phoenix rising from the ashes....with such beauty and grace
Ive come from a hellish place.

Pain and tears bring  the strength
We need to get  by n life...without
pain how could I know relief and
joy?
