How did I get here
I keep repeating
As the drums beat
Deep in my mind
Causing tears to
Escape down my cheeks
How do I stop
The maddening cycle
Of lost days
Time spent healing
From a wound
Caused by someone else
How many times
Will life expect
Me to climb
Over another hurdle
Slow me down
Detour my days
How come everyone
Else sees the strong
Woman with no fear
Yet in the mirror
I see a lost
Confused little girl
