Growing up alone and in pain

being bullied at school and home from my dad

learning that you have to earn respect

feeling tired and sad for the daily tortures

smiling and dancing to music

learning to the beats to ease the hate

loving others, not hating others

not being the world that imprisons us

only you can free yourself

releasing the locks and singing out loud

becoming joyous, knowing that I am released

standing tall, earning black belts

winning my daily battles mentally

dancing to the joys of a life reborn . . .

Dance, Dance, Dance

respecting. . . .

taking her ashes to the ocean . . .

seeing my mother flying high with angels. . .

smiling, raising my fist up . . .

pushing my chest out. . .

becoming the warrior . . .

of hopeful dreams and . . . .

postive happiness. . . .

daring to dream. . .

of rebirth. .
