I am a woman
I am weak, I am strong
I am quiet, I am loud
I am a woman
...

I stand in the ocean
with my toes in the sand
with the breeze in my hair
and water in my hand
...

She looks to the sky
So innocent, so visible
but still not seen
...

She stands on the shore
her dress billowing in the air
She can feel the ocean breeze
on her face and in her hair
...

I hear all the whispering
of things she never got to tell

Her adoring and watching daughter
...

I am surrounded by water
but there's not a drop to drink

I am on solid ground
...

What would it be like
to go through everyday

Without speaking a single word
...

I stand alone in the forest
underneath the trees

Everything seem to pull at me
...

When does it stop?
Why does it go on?
The sun never stops shining
The rain never stops falling
...

Listen to the wind
Listen to it's story

Hear about it's works
...

I crouch behind a bush
my heart is racing fast
I can't get rid of the memories
I can't run away from the past
...

I will let go
when I want
It is my life
They are not the counsel I've sought
...
