I Am Trying

I am trying.

I am falling.

I am breaking. 

I am drowning.

I am rising.

I am floating.

I am resting.

I am building.

I am thriving!

I was a person of negativity,

I was a person of regret,

I was a person of slience,

I was a person that wasn't myself.

And so

I tried, I fell, I broke, I drowned, I rose, 

I floated, I rested, I built, and I thrive!

And I thrive. 

I am a person of determination!

I am a person of light!

I am a person of people.

I am a person of forgiveness.

I am a person of nostaglia, of hopefulness, of belief 

and of spirituality. 

Of love and patience and happiness.

Of contentness and understanding. 

I am a person who came from such places,

places everyone has gone.

But not everyone has returned.

So rise. So try. 

I am trying. 

I am rising. 

I am building. 

I am thriving. 

My God, I will thrive. 

And my God, I will thrive beyond the boundries

I have been kept in. 

I am trying, and I will succede.
