Break The Patterns That Need Not Last
I learnt to keep myself quiet and small, while others shone and grew very tall
Years ago, as a little girl
I loved to dance and do a twirl
One day a solo dance on a stage
Led me, to locking me in a cage
You see, someone lurked behind the stage
She looked at me with spite and rage
Angry, that it was my time to shine
When our eyes connected I stopped feeling fine
I crumbled, froze and sank within
Felt I had committed an awful sin
She smiled with glee as my dance messed up
My failure filled her destructive cup
I learnt a pattern that lasted many years
Caused me heartache and many tears
I learnt to keep myself quiet and small
While others shone and grew very tall
My wounded child had kept me small
Stopped me answering to my true call
The time had come to go deep inside
Love and support her to no longer hide
