Who knows where I’d be
A self-loathing girl
That was formerly me
I hated myself
And all that I’d done
Twenty years in a battle
Satan just about won
I’d given up trying
To be what I’m not
Then you came in my life
Helping me find what I sought
To me you have given
The ultimate gift
By showing me love
You have mended the rift
I can look at tomorrow
With a smile on my face
Knowing someday we’ll meet
In that heavenly place
I used to be no one
But now that’s not true
I owe my self-worth
To my love, that is you [comments] => 5 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 61 [informant] => lizabeth283 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
