But Not Beaten

Folder: 
Depression

 

It may be true that I am broken.

 

I have taken a mighty blow that is true.

 

Life has beaten me to where I am, and that is what life does.

 

But I will keep moving forward.

 

The Pain and sorrow will subside but will remain if I stay down.

 

I do have a dream a goal that above all else I WILL achieve.

 

I have long thought the goal was one thing. 

 

But this blow has revealed its true nature

 

I have feared not the darkness but the light.

 

Would I be the same?

 

Would I be welcome in the light?

 

Whether I say I can or can’t I am right.

 

If I can’t I stay in the pain

 

If I can I will see my goal.

 

So I will fight my way out of the darkness and into the light.

 

I will sacrifice who I am, to be who I want to be.

 

I will work one inch at a time, one step at a time.

 

I shed my tears as a sign of my pain and I will use that to push me forward.

 

I will show not the world not anyone but myself how Great I Am.

 

I will rise above with scars.

 

I am holding on by a hair and right now I make a choice.

 

I will not make any prayer for help. 

 

I will acknowledge the pain and pull myself up.

 

I forgot the fire the drive to better myself. 

 

I am not a coward I will not give up,

 

I claim my heritage as a child of light.

 

I have had enough of sitting in the darkness looking at the light and dreaming.

 

I have never been a hard hitter.

 

But I am strong.

 

But I have taken many hits, and I will take many more.

 

I believe in myself only.

 

I believe that I am strong.
