I am the artist of my life; I use many colors and hues
I wonder why my painting is of a sunset and ocean, who has the clues
I hear the sea gulls, I smell the ocean water, and I feel a cool breeze
I see myself laughing and crying, aloe in a house, I want someone to please
I want to smile and have some fun; I need someone by my side
I am a woman who longs for a companion to walk with in the tide
I pretend to be a phoenix and rise up from the hearts' flame
I feel lonely without a friend to share in the same
I touch the burning sky, I long to be free
I worry about what lies beyond my haven, what'll be in store for me
I cry for the weak, I weep for the dead, I carry their heart
I am a woman who is exiled and longs to be a part
I understand that there are others, who walk on another bay
I say that we are all one in the same, we'll be together someday
I dream of a home, family and friends, the people by the sea
I try to keep hope, in my dreams I am happy for they are with me
I hope we stay together, I know it in my heart
I am a woman of many faces and names, I will always be apart
I am not a judge or the executioner, I am… a friend
