Conquered

The cool breeze soothes The wounds on my cheek The night is quiet, not even a peep The stars shining bright, in the ebony sky It gives me hope that I'll be alright... The sidewalk stands firm, under my feet I lean against the wind, and softly breathe Exhaling the pain, discomfort, defeat.. Igniting the strength that lies inside me I open my eyes, sore from the crying, I need the help, I'm not denying.. A change needs to happen, and it starts Right now, I'll hold my head high, as high as the clouds Wipe away the tears, and know my wounds will heal With time and resilience, I will prevail. I can't do it alone, I'll have to reach out For others for guidance and I will not pout When obstacles occur, I'll face them head on And I will conquer...
