Take it
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
I beg of you, give me hope,
Give me strength to carry on.
Take away the pain I feel.
Take it back, make it gone.
Take away the daily shame,
The anguish which I bare.
Take the part that is not me,
That I never wanted there.
Give me courage in myself,
Remind me to be me.
Tell me to stand tall and proud,
For life is long, and I am free.
