I will rise

The silence a dungeon of my mind for years

The thought that a weaker sex I was

Open the path of negatively to bloom

Doors slammed shut in my face

Sent me staggering deeper into my comfort zone of silence

A slave to fear I plunged deeper into myself

Though myself to be a failure in life

I slowly dug my own grave for donkey years

Never knowing all left of me was bones

My eyes never lost sight of the boys I bore

They were my strength I soon rose from my grave

Picked up the shattered scattered pieces of my life

Emerged out of the cage of silence

I will rise was my motto for years

I have since never looked back on the pain of the past

My broken wings have healed 

My fears have subsided and given me strength to fly

I will rise above my doubts and fears

I will push aside the black past of my life

No regrets but lessons learnt

No hate but forgiveness will I speak

Nothing will keep me down

I will rise no matter what
