Rise

It was not the first time

I lost my way .

It was not the first time

I had my heart broken .

It will happen again ,

I will lose my way ,

I will make the wrong choices .

I will fall again and again .

My heart will always

wear bruises .

Wounds will heal but soon

scars replace them.

Family will betray , friends will disappear along the way .

Yet I still have to stand,

fighting a battle

whose war will last forever .

I fight , I fall , I break ,

I grow , I will win .

This is a warning .

My final warning .

To those who look down on me

I will rise and by that time it

will be too late .

You will watch as your world

burns into nothing but ashes .
