Surviving

I will not cry Not any longer What doesn't kill you Will make you stronger It stops here The cut is small I will not fumble I will not fall I will move on And will not fail Won't be defeated I will prevail The damage So painful and cruel It haunts me now But I am no fool I will stand Look in your eyes And I'll tell you That I've realized No escape Is found for pain But the sun will come Out of the rain Times get rough They always do But they will pass As always too I will pull through And stay alive I will smile again And still survive © KLLK 2005 *Author's Note: This poem was written after an incredible person taught me that life is what you make it, and it is possible to get through the hard times with enough determination.*
