I am changed by innocence called to be more
I am changed by evil turned to embrace it
I am changed by power taught to try less
I am changed by intimacy never having enough
I am changed by survival toughened for life
I am changed by fear losing myself
I am changed by weakness shaking with scorn
I am changed by challenge called to be great
I am changed by freedom living to love
I am changed by change finding myself
