i'm an overcomer/you're an overcomer
i'm an overcomer of finacial hardship
where losing a home
tempts me to be a street dweller
indulging stupidity by consuming alcohol
metamorphosising myself to become a drunk
that tells sorry stories searching for pity
becoming a lost sheep running away with no direction
instead, i'm a renown street scholar
that inspires hope to the youth
in realizing talents lie from within their inner core disposal
you're an overcomer of unhappiness
where you're wearing the pants in the relationship
by bringing home the bread, which that title should belong to your man
but instead
constantly asking you for money by selling pipe dreams
about his own aspirations fogged up by ongoing delusions of failures
paralyzing his own reality by making undeniable excuses for his shortcomings
you gave him the benefit of the doubt for 15 years
it's way too long
tell him to hit the road jack, you don't want him no more no more no more no more
i'm an overcomer of a dysfunctional family
where loyalty is based on favortism, not love
it's all in the family until you become your own person
where learning how to speak and think for oneself becomes a threat like a criminal
the real criminals in my family are drug dealers,murderers, drunks, corruption that was all about power
yet, they get more love than me
and i don't fit the description
you're an overcomer of abuse
you become an addict to his crack
where he injects hatred, powerless, and weak mind that suppress your self-esteem
the infliction of pain became numb as a customary to defining a healthy relationship
but in all reality, he's the weakest link in your relationship
all you need to do is overcome that fear with power, love, and sound mind
you say you want to get away
but he keeps calling your name
and you respond like a slave with no liberty
WAKE UP! what is your wake up call?
are you waiting for the inevitable where your face is on the 3rd page of the daily news
headlining a tragedy for your family to shed so many tears asking why my daughter
i'm an overcomer of adversity
there's always soemthing that tries to hold me back
i don't give in nor give up
i am not diagnose with cowardice where every time there's a problem
i run like a lot of dudes who don't want to pay child support who have the audacity to bad mouth his kid's mom, but yet you slept with her
and whose abundance of the heart is absent and the only thing that comes out of their mouths is false representations of what defines a man
you're an overcomer of finding your life again
where you were a runaway at 15 running from who? from what?
20 years later, you look back and ask why
only you knew why the decisions was indicated at that time
it doesn't matter what happened before
what matter is now
you made a 180* turnaround to aspire people in believing that life is good
if it were a 360, you would've reverted back to the beginning where you were tagged as a runaway without reason

Amen! Amen! Beautifully written as always. Yes we are overcomers. I like how you take real life struggles that people have endured and show their overcoming with you overcoming life. It's truly inspiring. It makes evident that no matter what circumstance we are in or came out of we can be a overcomer by walking in faith and courage to path better than our past. Once again, beautiful. Keep writing on my friend:).
