Something miserable just happened to me,

But don’t remind me what it will take to be free.

It lingers in my brain like it's a type of disease,

I’m hurting on the inside but nobody sees.

Is this all in my head? Will it go away tomorrow?

I’m convinced this can't be true, so why am I full of sorrow?

It strips away what would, could, or should have been,

I hope I’ll get it back but I have no idea when.

This thing is terror bringing worry and fright,

I don't know what will happen but I sure know what might.

Time can never be created, it can never be erased,

I have more than I want because I’m losing the race.

 

My heart is filled with love and it’s keeping me alive,

It just got a little bigger and now I'm revived.

Knowledge gives me the wisdom to do things I haven't done,

Although I can't perform the skills I can learn from watching one.

Worth is up to opinions and can be very subjective,

Because of my experience I have a whole new perspective.

It's hard to bounce back and simply not retire,

But the storm didn't break me, it only fueled my fire.

Pride is earned by success on a challenging road,

I’m allowed to be happy, my hard work has showed.

I once was naïve and simply so innocent,

But now I have learned that I am resilient.
