Don’t Cry Over Me

It’s Not There Anymore

27 Jan 20202 May 2023 Nancy AtienoLeave a comment

I choose to think with my heart And not my head, That's how I know you are not for me. So I'll take my missing piece And put it back where it belongs.

There are times I wish you were here to see me grow, but I know you can see and hear me though. I hope you found peace after that terrible disease. Too bad I still hate hemiparesis.

I am the Woman that I am

I hear so much about the woman that I am, Some say I am strong and brave Some believe I am strict and tough Some tell me I am serious Some will tell you I need to loosen up But some think I need to ‘woman-up’ That I can be so much more All I… Continue reading I am the Woman that I am
