"I Am Light"

I am light, I am light

I am not the things my family did
I am not the voices in my head
I am not the pieces of the brokenness inside
I am light, I am light

I am light, I am light

I'm not the mistakes that I have made
Or any of the things that caused me pain
I am not the pieces of the dream I left behind
I am light, I am light

I am light, I am light

I am not the color of my eyes
I am not the skin on the outside
I am not my age, I am not my race
My soul inside is all light

I am light, I am light

I am divinity defined
I am the God on the inside
I am a star, a piece of it all
I am light!

Helen of Troy.

Beauty and charm,
Forged by the hands of the gods.
They say in her bossom,
you find bloom.
Yet in her heart doom.
They say the gods themselves,
set her on her path.
A path that criss-crosses
The path of all men.
A path no man will fully understand.
A knowledge
For which we forever
Draw arms,
Speaches and strategies.
The beast thinks he owns her.
And Prince charming to the rescue.
For blood and honour,
Or love.
For which do you battle?
Men will die!
Legions will fall,
And generations will follow...

Will she bring peace
After a life time of war?
Will she?
No man has adequate answers,
There is no end!
O! Helen of Troy.
What is the purpose of creation,
when you live to destroy!

For women the world over.
