lyrics

My beautiful friend
She told me I’m a prism
But the glow of my skin
is not what it used to be
When I was a child I was made to feel broken

I’m powerful now
as I am a woman
And as naturally
The strange boy would turn out to be
When I catch myself in the mirror I cry

Now I catch the light
Emanated by the warmth of
My beautiful friends
who validate existence
I never thought it would be much to ask

I can cry now
Not like before, it feels right now
All of my power I can feel inside my bones
I can call you
When I’m in the dark, you would guide me
All of our love I can feel inside my heart
