Felicia

Look in the mirror, Felicia, tell me what do you see?

A woman who walked through the fire to finally be free.

Seventeen years in the shadows, fighting the pain,

When the people you loved left you out in the rain.

Mother and sister, your brothers, they all turned away,

Left you to carry the heavy alone every day.

When everyone walked, you had to learn how to fight.

Oh, the things that you've been through,

Most people would shatter, they'd never make it through.

But you're still breathing, still holding on to the light,

After the longest and the darkest night.

You survived what they could never understand,

Felicia, look at the woman you are, look where you stand.

Aching and missing five pieces of your own soul,

Seventeen years of the struggle took such a heavy toll.

Sending them kisses and praying they're safe in the night,

While you were battling demons to get to the light.

But through all the sorrow, your spirit stayed sweet,

You'd drop what you're doing for anyone you meet.

Always the first one to offer a comforting hand.

Oh, the things that you've been through,

Most people would shatter, they'd never make it through.

But you're still breathing, still holding on to the light,

After the longest and the darkest night.

You survived what they could never understand,

Felicia, look at the woman you are, look where you stand.

They turned their backs, but you didn't turn on yourself,

You climbed from the bottom and found your own kind of wealth.

A heart made of gold that the struggle could never steal,

It takes a true survivor to hurt and to heal.

They would have folded, they would have given in,

But you found the power to love yourself again.

Because the things that you've been through,

Most people would shatter, they'd never make it through.

But you're still breathing, still holding on to the light,

After the longest and the darkest night.

You survived what they could never understand,

Oh, Felicia, look at the beautiful woman you are, look where you stand.
