Once Upon A Time

    a long long time ago

    in a place I used to know

Harvest of Yesterdays

    is this reaping what was sown?

    finally paying off the loan?

HOW TO GET WELL

    I want to be well, I want to be well

    I want to be well, I just want to yell!

SILENT NO MORE 

    can’t keep this bottled up

    can’t keep covering up

TELL ME MORE

    will you listen, really listen?

    cuz it’s compassion I’m really missin’

DARE TO DREAM

    let it flow

    feel the glow

Girls Forever Brave and True 

    I can be one

    Yes, I am one

MEMORIES

    painful stabs, repeating past

    oh, how long will it last?

Yesterday, I Cried 

    they say it’s okay

    good to let it out each day

PROMISES

    this too shall pass

    and I will be healed at last!

WHAT REMAINS 

    put the pieces back together

    feel in the process, feel better

Never Forget

    my whole is greater than the sum of my brokenness

    faith, hope, and love bring me wholesomeness

FALL & RISE 

    no matter how hard and far I fell

    it is never too hard or far to get well

Rain Rain, Go Away

    can’t you see I’m sad today

    why also make the sky so gray?

The Girl with No Shadow 

    no one notices

    no condolences

A PATH THROUGH SUFFERING

    paved alone

    it’s all I’ve known

Find Me

    in the crisis

    just wanna be priceless

SEARCH THE SHADOWS 

    never give up

    you’ll find me among the other screw-ups

IT TAKES a FAMILY 

    so start acting like one!

    otherwise the dark side has won

Stop the Insanity! 

    these shadows are choking me

    just want you, me, all of us, to be free

caught in the act

    swear I was naive

    please, I was deceived!

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

    deliverance came!

    such brilliant light cleansed my shame

SLAYING THE DRAGON

    I stand alone no longer

    Here stronger conquer the monster

CARE OF THE SOUL

    mind no longer enshroud

    more than possible, all power endowed

The Law of Love 

    a fresh perspective

    a life now actually effective

STANDING FIRM

    standing my ground

    beyond the shadow, I am found!
