I Am Your Daughter

I make my way to this rocky shore,

to look for answers

in the mirrored surface

of the inky water.

You are the only one who can help me

Mother

For no matter how modern the life I live

in my soul’s deepest regions

I am Your daughter.

Life troubles me sometimes,

and I am tempted

to surrender myself

beneath the icy water,

but I seeks answers instead

Mother

For no matter how painful life may be

I realize I can never be a coward,

for I am your daughter.

Did you make me this way for a reason,

a purpose unseen by my eyes

and will it ever be revealed,

How can I decide what is truth

and how much is merely lies?

How can I live the life you would have me live

if it is never to my sight revealed?

If the others are the holders of the truth

how can I be your daughter?

I make my way to this rocky shore

to see your silver face

reflected in the surface

of the mirrored water

looking for some proof of our connection

Mother

Do I resemble you in any way?

Can others see and understand

that I am your daughter?

I make my way to this rocky shore

to find myself

in the silence beside this satin water.

I replenish my soul

Mother,

just knowing you are there

No matter how others see me,

I know I am your daughter
