To live a life where weakness and dominate.
To breath a breath and beg God for a break.

Hate-filled days and bruises to keep -
Terror – filled nights cut the psyche deep.

Few understand the strength you have to know -
To take for someone weaker, gaining more bruises to show.

Learning not to feel so to keep my mind.
Hating to hate, and even the kind are unkind.

Strength is another weakness if left unknown.
There are only two options for we who was left alone:

Live a life after defeat and never learn to feel.
Take slow breaths, and watch a future croak and keel.

or

Learn from something awful and get your convictions straight.
Find an inner strength to and motivate.

Your past doesn’t define your future and excuses are for the weak.
All battles from here are before you, know what they are and for what you seek.

The secret to any life can’t be found hiding behind an unopened door.
Take a deep breath and find something worth fighting for.
