As I sit on that sandy hill.
listening to the birds,
watching the children play,
and wathcing the waves roll onto the sand

I can hear it.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear the gentle splash of the water?
Does it relax you?
Does it give you that warm,
comforting feeling?

I can feel it.
It sends me to a place of peace.
To a place of deep
and relaxing thoughts.

Thoughts of where
I want to be.
There is no negativity.
Not here.
Not now.

I sit there
full of wonder,
full of courage,
full of definite
pride

I get up from taht sandy hill.
I scream.
I scream for all to hear.

This is me.
This is who I am.
Nobody can change me.
Nobody can tell me I am wrong.

And I,
I am strong.
Stronger than
I ever have been.

For now
I have a heart of stone.
For I will never be broken.
