It’s True…

I toiled

I sacrificed

It’s true.

Some people, that flew in and out of my life

Got their just due

I’ve been verbally abused

Ridiculed

And lied on - and lied to

What is a girl to do?

In the face of adversity

In the face of my truth

I see all my pain and anguish

Still, I struggle to rise through

As they defame my name

I know who I am

As they laugh at my shortcomings

I know whose name I am proclaim

Though I don’t understand his plans

I shall always remain in God’s hands

His daughter

His child

<My best friend>

No matter how much I’m smeared, God lifts me beyond my tears.

Like a fish soaring above the muddy waters of earth I rise.

And so it’s true

It’s hard sometimes

Don’t let them panic you
