Patrice Watley Williams, Poetic Lyricist
I Am Chosen - Even in a Quiet Storm
Quiet Storms of a soft soul
Lurking in the distance
You look but you don't see,
You see but you don't notice
You notice but you don't acknowledge,
You acknowledge but you don't feel,
You feel but you don't say it,
Saying it is everything
Even in a quiet storm...
But even in the quiet storm
I am possessed with personality
To be Chosen
In the meantime and between time
I am sequestered in my solitude
Allowing parts of the world to pass me by,
Making a choice to heal
dreaming the dream of being comforted in the night,
In and out of my thoughts
Riding in the wind of possibilities,
Wanting the rainbows to find me,
Adjusting my eyes as I press on to see the prize,
Afraid to lift the padlock
Shielding it with all of my beings,
But finally knowing it's time to do
What I was chosen for...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Made It
Strong but weak
From my younger days of seeing abuse
Through young adulthood
Of being abused
Striving to live a peaceful life
Of raising kids and in and out of relationships
Searching for love, finding it but never wholeheartedly
Living and loving, loving and living
Giving and giving never truly receiving
Beyond abuse, I'm happy, beyond disrespect
I'm sad, but I'm happy
Beyond betrayal, I'm happy
Beyond heart dysfunctional, I'm happy
Beyond CANCER, I'm happy
A lot of hard days but I made it.
Never without you
Standing on His promise
Never taking my life for granted
I made it!
