Survivor

Survivor

None of what I've experienced seems real

Now I've reached the end of my ordeal

Pain and anguish taught me to be strong

I feel free since the hopelessness has gone

There was such a weight I found hard to bear

Now it is difficult to believe I was ever there

In that dark place I struggled to be myself

The toll of battle preyed heavily on my health

But I am living to tell the tale of those days

Much of what I recollect to astound and amaze

Never will I be able to view life the same way

I am more than thankful to be standing here today !
