New Eyes
I can see through lies
and decipher what\'s wrong and what\'s right
I can\'t watch the things I grew desensitized to anymore
New Ears
I can\'t listen to words that hurt others.
You have to watch what you say around me.
I won\'t just listen.
New hands.
I look at my hands and am reminded to keep them clean.
Not just with soap and water
but with the actions they commit.
I realize my body only takes up so much space on this Earth.
What kind of footprints will I leave?
Reborn now
I can dance
I can sing
I can fight
I can run
I can love
and I can be loved
I can heal
and I can help
Reborn now
I can\'t be tied down
I can\'t be chained
I can\'t be manipulated
I can\'t be molded
I can\'t be controlled
The old me is still here and she struggles sometimes
but it is my job to protect her.
I am her protector and I will never abandon her again
