Tell me I’m still glowing covered in scars
Listen to me, as I explain how it feels to have felt like all had been lost
Watch me as I continue living, even when the battle felt over
To have not only reinvented but, became who I was always meant to be
That girl in the pictures of years flown by
The one who still gets excited from the fireworks in the sky
Who still has flashbacks of childhood holidays and fun
Help me down the stairs, as my legs don’t work like they did
But don’t look down on me
Don’t feel sorry for me
I’m just the outcome of experience
And although mine has been different
I don’t feel down
I don’t feel bitter
I have accepted it all
The changes to my life
My body and my health
My view and my surroundings
But I am so grateful for my life
For the body that endured
Just whisper to me
Tell me of my beauty
Tell me you see past the scars and loss
Tell me you see me
Be the first to really see me
The first in all of my years to really know me, and understand
I will sit patiently and wait on your entrance
I know you are out there
I have high hopes
I have always had big dreams
And one by one they have all come true
I won’t doubt my dreams or my future
Because I know it is full of everything I have ever wanted
From that young girl to this grown up woman
Help me get up on that day that I can’t
Don’t let me stop now
Life is good
And I want it all
