City lights never lose is application 
a small town girl 
masked to find greatness
in the absence 
confined to disbelieving 
that bracelets hold no secrets
that hearts are formed to make differences
bravery is fear captivating and cover up wishes
I was missing
love was a new drug for me
though I never beared a child 
I was covering a culture seed
writing behind closed doors
whispering my confessions 
never utilizing my voice to speak
learning valuable lessons 
of change
a change coming for me 
a volume morphing into me 
these are my confessions
