Sometimes I stumble try not to fall,
My voice a soft whisper till I hear the call.
“Rise, rise from your dreaded despair,
You are alive and have lots of love to share.
Pain goes with life for its not a simple thing,
Slowly it fades, leaving only the remembering.
Remembering is good, its but a lesson to learn,
Never again, and my mind begins to turn.
Not backwards, no, never. Some things I will forget,
Only forward, new memories, no doubts, no regrets.
On my feet now standing both tall and proud,
My voice no longer a whisper, but a shout among the crowd.
I’m a person, alive, and from the curse I am free,
I’ll no longer allow anyone to walk over me.
Untrusting to some with a cynic eye,
But true friends I have and on golden wings my spirit will fly.
I AM ALIVE. Isn’t life great.
