by Anaïs Maranda

Je suis beauté muselée
Language: French (Français) 
Je suis beauté muselée
Matière inerte brülant de vivre
Je baigne dans l'eau stagnante du passé
Je suis femme à la dérive

Je suis volcan qui s'éveille
La terre tremble au son de ma révolte
Mille vies en moi sommeillent
Je prépare une décharge de mille volts

Je suis rage et remède
Mes actions comme plaidoyer
Rien en moi plus jamais concède
Je prend ma place sans demander

Je suis rivière et pont
L'avenir, je le façonnerai de mes mains
La vérité cherche maison
J'ouvrirai le chemin
