WHO AM I ?, by karen straker Subscribe to rss feed for karen straker

Who am I ? I am a lost girl still waiting for your love,
Abandon, I could only imagine what it felt like,
Forgotten,  by a father who visited for only ten minutes
once a year,
I needed you so much  but you were never there, 
I needed you, to show me, to guide me, to stand up for me,


Who am I ? I am the woman you married,
Still a teenager and not ready to be your mother,
Yet I was your strength your tower, I held you together,
But still in my one moment of need you let me fall,
You mistreated me and tried to make me feel small,


Who am I ? I am your lover your friend,
I tried to love you although you never loved me,
But loved the  freaky, sensual side of me,
No matter how much I gave, it was never good enough,
Your only concern was, would I like it 'slow or rough'


Who am I ? I am that woman of God,
That might, virtuous woman is hidden deep within me,
But because of sin I am too blind to see,
The wonderful purpose and a plan he has in store for me,
Father give me the strength and someday let it be,

Who am I ? I am your friend,
So long ago you lost my trust,
And now I don't know if they can be another us,
I have a hard time letting people in,
I hope someday to retry this friendship thing,


Who am I ? I am a beautiful butterfly,
I have been through so many stages to reach this place,
I have learnt how to survive in this life long race,
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not,
But now I can fly above and be thankful for what I've got!!
