Torn between love and peace, <br />good and bad, hate and war, <br />this is what they made of me, <br />could they tear and forsake me anymore? <br />My mind has always been mine, <br />forced views, night time dreads, <br />hollowed out this girl in time, <br />raise my glass as my life begins and yours ends. <br />Im a fighter, a soul surviour, <br />a mother and my worlds protector<br /><br />D.A.
