Your Stage : Resilience by Maria Ricardo

Maria Ricardo

Resilience

Too scared to tell my truth

To show the world who I really am

So much turbulence I had to live

So many lessons to survive

This is when I let my tears run down my cheek

When my mind stoped time and ended

All the hurt I had to beat so the devil wouldn’t win this fight

I was left with so many scars

So much confusion that made me loose my mind

But no, don’t think I wont get up

I wasn’t born to quit

I wasn’t born to bow

I was built to strong to give up now

I will keep my head up high

Fight all the demons by my side

I’ll put my faith in him and let the author write

All the tears I shed will guide me through the light

I will stand tall and continue through this fight called life

It doesn’t matter all the doors closed

I know my faith will open more

The abuse I faced wont tame down

All my wisdom will soon come out

So no, don’t think I wont get up

I wasn’t born to quit

I wasn’t born to bow

I was built to strong to give up now

No, I wasn’t born to quit

I wasn’t born to bow

So let me rise up and fix my crown.

Welcome to the community, Maria Ricardo. Great song!

I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Composing Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge because it’s promotion. Promotion can go in the Your Stage Lounge and on Your Wall.

You can post your promotion in one of the main Lounges (Composing Lounge, Filmmaking/Directing Lounge, etc.) if your post starts a conversation that’s helpful and educational to the community.

Example: If you post your song in the Composing Lounge, within that post you could start a discussion by giving a tip on writing a song. This doesn’t have to be long, just something that starts a conversation that’s helpful and educational.

You can also post your promotion in one of the main Lounges if you're asking for feedback.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Also, I suggest adding a profile picture and a detailed bio on your profile. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. A detailed bio will help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became an actor/author/composer/etc., your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies/shows/songs you like.
