Strength


My life story is not simple or chaotic

It is a string of events that have made me nostalgic

I can share each story, emotions and all

But that is not what I'm writing for, not to share, not to fall

For there are happy tellings, but most are sad

I am not here writing for you, no I am writing for me, not for what I had

I've added up these tellings and stories

All of which are true

But the sum of my happiness makes me quite blue

I will repeat again, sweet listener

For I know your intentions are pure

I AM NOT MY LIFE STORY

I am me, moving on, for a better glory

I have the strength of eagles

dancing through the sky

I have the vision of a grand ruler

I was meant to fly

I withhold a talent, aimed for success

Don't worry, sweet listener, for I am at my best
