Sweet Surrender

Swallowing my pride
Gripping tight, for the ride
No one said it wouldn't be rough
And I was raised to be tough
I'm surrendering now, the moment has come
I no longer wish to be numb
I've made it this far, with life passing me by
And tonight I raised my hands to the sky
I'm seeking solace, from a higher source
To guide me on this rocky course
The universe listened, I fell to my knees
With all my cries and desperate pleas
Thank you for listening, please help me be free
And the universe answered "It's up to thee." ~kjl
