Persistence
Who am I?
I cry
Why don’t I know
Which way to go? I feel low.
In life.
Why can’t I see
Who I am meant to be?
Why is it hard to trust?
I long for something I lust,
Not to acquire dust,
In life.
Why don’t I fit in
With what’s normally been
Done?
I’m starring down the barrel of my own gun,
In life.
The road less traveled that’s what I’m on,
I’m gone.
To try to be-
Me.
The one no one else can see
Inside.
But I know she’s alive.
She’s been tried,
So many times
Almost died.
But yet she still strives
In life.
She lives within
Where she’s always been
Just waiting for the right wind
To send
Her out
About
Her business
In life.
She’s been trapped,
Attacked.
But she won’t let negativity attach,
Take her soul.
For she has goals
In life.
She’s been hurt,
Brought down to the dirt,
But his plan didn’t work.
Can’t bring her down,
For she’s dream bound
In life.
Can’t keep her in,
Where she’s always been.
She’s ready,
To help me steady.
Take control
In life.
I now know
Who I am.
For I didn’t when
I began,
Writing my journey in life.
