As I sit here and let my mind wander afar

I drift away into the night sky.

Dreaming of what could become in this world of mine

easing a mind of pain and slowly getting by

What i had once suppressed for so long i let surface

puzzle pieces come together and re found their place

controlling what i thought was impossible happened so easily

and the feelings came back and left a smile on my face

The ones who thought things were so negative about me

I learned to ignore and not get me down

Reassuring myself I am better than that and will succeed

wrong paths that were once a choice is an option not to be found

The strength I continue to put in myself grows everyday

Struggles and triumphs are educating and i know to keep my head high

Though this world can sometimes be cruel to many

Love, faith, and hope can always get me by

Its upon me to change the things that i have done

bury the past with the hurt, anger, and pain

and the things that were once wrong in my life

suddenly will be washed away with the rain

Push forward with no regrets, continue conquering life's challenges

I'll never back down or feel as if everything i did or i do is a mistake

nothing in my life will ever again be taken for granted

Nor will i be the reasoning for someone to ache

I'm glad i can finally see through the clouds of gray

the sun shines so brightly it gives me sight

thank you to the man upstairs

for giving me the strength to continue the fight!
