LOVE

by KRISTIANA
(GARDENA, CA)

I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT MEANT TO BE LOVED UNTIL I GAVE MY LIFE TO YOU

I THOUGHT I COULD FIND LOVE THROUGH FAMILY PASSION AND BOYS BUT IT FAILED ME BECAUSE IT CHANGED AND WASNT TRUE
I TRIED SO HARD TO FIT IN THE WORLD AND NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY I WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS
I JUST WANTED TO FIT IN NOT TO BE SPOTTED OUT FROM MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS
BUT THEN U REVEALED TO ME I WAS SPECIAL AND BLESSED WITH A GIFT
BUT TO RECIEVE THIS GIFT MY LIFE HAD TO TAKE A SHIFT
A SHIFT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
ENCOUNTER THE BATTLE READY TO FIGHT
FIGHT TO TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU
HOW MUCH U LOVE US AND FOR US HOW MUCH YOUVE BEEN THROUGH
TO STAND BOLD IN YOUR NAME
TO HUMBLE MYSELF TO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK JUST GIVE YOU ALL THE FAME
TO LOVE EVERY ONE EQUALLY AND CHALLANGE MYSELF TO FORGIVE
TO NOT BE SELFISH AND ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE
TO PUT AWAY MY FEARS BECAUSE YOUR ARE ALWAYS BY MY SIDE
TO PROCLAIM THE TRUTH BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LIVING A LIE
TO LIVE WHAT I PREACH
TO LEARN FROM WHAT OTHERS TEACH
TO FOCUS ON YOU AND NOT TAKE MY EYE OFF YOU FOR THINGS OF THE WORLD
TO BE WHO I AM AND NOT ANY OTHER GIRL
YOU GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO BE REBORN AGAIN
EVEN IF THROUGH IT ALL I LOST A FRIEND
YOU GAVE ME WHAT I ALWAYS LONGED FOR WHICH IS LOVE
AND ALL YOU ASKED AS THAT I STRIVE FOR PERFECTION AND PUT NO ONE ABOVE
