Power


Constant struggle.

Daily beatings, no matter what it is.

Feelings weak, so weak.

I shut down. about break.

 

Wanting to cry for help.

But only feel alone in a dark room.

Prayers are finally answered.

Finally a light can be seen.

 

A overwhelming sense of power is embraced.

The darkness fades out.

The light shows a path,

Just as the thought of giving up felt so right.

 

There is now a new goal to complete.

A new life to begin.

We have the power to help show the light inside.

Ask for help, and you will feel anew.

 

You are the power,

Be strong and live proud.
