Growing Pains


What does it take to overcome adversity?

Surrender or strength?

Loving? Letting go?

My life was a dark room

Confusing and cold

Tired and taxing

For years I struggled

to survive

A powerful pain ached inside

But gradually,

I learned

Struggles make you Stronger

Surrender is Strength

Pain will not swallow you

If you take control it will help you grow

If you love yourself you can let it go
