By Demetria Zinga

I stood still
Inwardly fighting
All that I had was taken away
My heart as stone, cold as ice
Another man’s paradise
Was my tomb.

I died.
Inwardly fighting
I thought never to see a brighter day
I thought to recoil within my shell
Forever my mind relived the hell
Of another man’s paradise
My death.
My tomb.

Until…

I felt the heat of a light so bright
Bursting its flame upon my life
Giving me energy, giving me life
Giving me strength for another fight

I lived.

God of the Universe, Master of Life
Healed my wounds, heart like ice
Melted away, paving the way
For a brighter day.

I live.
