DESSA

i opened the door early in the morning

cold wind greats me with a singing

i look back inside, they're still sleeping

i take a step outside and start walking.

every step i take recalls me

of the memories i've been through recently

its more than three months now that i set free

the burden that i carry inside of me.

i lock myself inside the room for six months

no one to talk to and nothing to be done

except watching Korean movies alone

i cry i cry and cry 'til my tears run dry.

i blame and hate everyone i saw

smiling is a no-no to me you know

how can you smile when i’m sick

you're so heartless, stupid crazy freak.

didn’t allow me for long to suffer

that's in my life buhay ka enters

changes happen in me one by one

'til i noticed my fears and anger were gone.

now, im here in the road walking

to sacred heart cannossian i’m heading

excitedly, i cross Caine road

with rice at my right hand for food.

i remember the time i’m so week

i can’t stand alone on my own feet

but now, funny i realize i’m alone

walking, with a joyful heart and a mission.

now in front of me is a group of people

facing bread, doughnuts, pizzas and apple

these are happy and great persons i adore

my inspiration, my strength, my co-survivors.
