Coming To Truth

What a daughter am I? To fall astray What a wretch to leave the way I’ve failed again Fallen harder this time On a step that never tripped me before Am I growing weaker? Or have I just sopped trying No- I’m trying I know It’s just different this time I’m not getting back up Least not yet-I’m thinking I don’t understand why I can’t run Others are running- Others are smiling- But every time I smile Another enemy tends to attack What wrong with me Will I ever learn? Or do we never learn Is that it? Do we just keep trying? Because that’s ok just as long as that’s ok Just as long as I’m not expected to soar I don’t know Guess I’ll get back up I’ll start climbing again Maybe that just it It’s a long hard road We are expected to climb We will never reach the top We will ever slip and fall But how better can we show our love That to simply Climb on.
