Strong Now I Stand
Drowning in Guilt, to the hilt, I Lay
Lifeless Upon the Beach of Decay.
With one last request, which was
To rise & Live again!
And as I rose from my repose,
With the Chaos that I chose,
Addictions led to Traumas
Getting Exposed,
Mixed with Drama
And Emotional Blows.
Taking the Easiest way to cope,
Smoking weed & Using dope,
Led me down a long hard Road.
Yet transformed me
To Warrior Mode.
Lifeless I Lay,
Strong Now I Stand,
Life lessons learned
That I understand.
Changing me
From who I used to be.
I'm now a strong-standing,
Blooming Tree!
