Pain Inspires

I used to wallow in my pain, when I first started this fight.

I would lay and cry myself to sleep every night.

My present is far different from my past, and the world around me is moving so fast.

I use my pain and daily struggle to inspire.

I spend countless hours working towards my goals and desires.

Fear of this darkness keeps me afloat, while I tiptoe carefully trying not to rock the boat.

I work as hard as I can, in hopes the pain of the past will no longer haunt me.

I work everyday towards the person I want to be.

I make this point so people know to use their trauma, then there is no excuse for all the drama.

Do not let your past weigh down on you.

If you try hard enough, I know you will make it through.

Do not forget all your hopes and desires, be brave and let your pain inspire
