Knowing

All my life I’ve known,
Known that I was worthless,
Known that life was meaningless,
Known that nobody cared.
I walked with my head down
Trying to hide the fear within,
And the pain written on my face.
I’m scarred deep in my soul
And some open wounds fester,
It’s ugly in the depths of my being,
A place not many have seen.
I didn’t know where to turn
I felt lost and all alone,
And then I saw the light.
I truly met the one
That can fix the hurt inside,
Now I walk with my head held high,
I know I’ve got a plan,
I know somebody loves me,
And I know that I have worth.

Beginning Anew

Walking through a crowd,
A crowd of new faces,
Some are quiet and some loud,
They’re all from different places

Smiles rain down as I pass them by
Wandering in a new direction
I look all around and sigh a big sigh
Because this happiness spreads like an infection

Here is where the past doesn’t matter
It is here I begin a new life
So I join in with all the laughter
Because I’ve forgotten about all the strife

So I lift my arms and dance
Because no one knows me
And they can see in a glance
That I’m all I can be.
