And this is what my talented, bright, strangely deep dark muscian/artist daughter wrote for me yesterday on my birthday.

Beautiful.

Thank you Sarah! You know your mommy loves you.

Run

By Sarah Crockford

I keep on biting my tongue
till it bleeds
so I don’t say anything
that bothers you and me
but I know that
if I wasn’t so careful
I’d say so many things…
I always hear my heart beat
from it’s little cage
all can do is pretend I have a heartache
but it’s not true…
There’s a little dove inside me
ready to fly
but it can’t cause it’s trapped
by rules
and I don’t know why.
If I could run
across the ocean,
I know I would,
if I could fly to the sky
then I’d know I’m free,
but keep this between you and me.
There’s another person inside me
who’s ready to burst out
it’s like bird who wants fly
but can’t cause he has no wings,
expect I have a will
and I have way,
but it’s another thing
that keeps me back
till today.
I want to run
till I’m free,
and I want to fly
cause I know I can…
And I want to be myself
just for one day
and I want to know the world
like I never known it before!
I want to be loved for who I am and not hated for being myself…
