Ashes, Tears
Broken hearts and pain
These fill the years
From which I came
Some times were happy
But many were not
Now these things have shaped me
And given what I sought
To shield me from the world
Today those times help me
Help someone else unfurl
and make their colors shine as boldly
When the moments were here
I wished them to leave
But now that they’ve passed,
I know they had to be
No moment would I refashion
For then you wouldn’t see
This woman full of passion
That lives inside of me
Ashes, tears
Heartaches and pain
These are the years
From which I came
