Lifeline By Candice Moraga
Music is my life, my spirit, my soul…
It is my salvation
God gave it to me for inspiration
When I’m drowning, he throws it out to me as a life preserver
I wrap it around myself as a protective blanket
It lifts me up like gossamer wings
Suddenly, I remember who it is that I am
My insides shine through
This is the part of me that is enchantress
Sensuality
Sexuality
Re-emergence of my ambition
My inner strength
Yeah - I guess it’s in there after all!
All that hiding
I guess I was just healing
I know I’ll always be OK
I know I seem fragile and frail
But it’s my emotions and feeling,
The passions
That makes me so strong
I am stronger than you know
And I will still be standing when all the dust settles
Having lived a turbulent,
Perhaps tumultuous,
But
Fulfilling and complete life.
