pheew! Finally, it's dawn.
How can these thoughts steal my precious slumber?
Well, am not surprised to know that my mind has misplaced it's loyalty after listening to that preacher.

His words pierced my core
How can I rip the veil off my face?
Really wana embrace the world buh it hasn't been fair to me.

He said I could start by sharing my story to give hope and be strengthen.
What he doesn't know is that my self esteem had been trapped.
How does it feel to come to the light?
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

How can I possibly erase these memories off my head?
I've hidden beneath shadows all these years so pretense could come in handy.

Come to think of it, am a strong woman.
I've successfully camouflage and harbored bitterness this long, it wouldn't be a shocker if I had taken my life or died of depression.

Judging by what the preacher said,
My wild guesses are the fact that I've been permitted to live this long is because I had to love myself and give love before kissing the earth goodbyes.

I wouldn't trade that opportunity for nothing.
Yea, I've been broken but not destroyed.
Therefore I've made my decision
The decision to bury the hatches and move on
The decision to find myself and make up for lost times
Yeah, I've made that decision to be unmasked.
