Defined By Struggle

Defined by struggle. I've learned to endure. To persevere. I've been battered. broken. torn. But i'm not afraid of what's in store. Not anymore. I will not lose hope. I cannot lose sight. I've gained the strength through the years that I need to endure. My heart's been scorned. I cannot erase the past where I have weeped and I have mourned. But today I will move forward. I won't let you kill me. I won't be held down. You will no longer grip me around my throat. I will not lose hope. Clearing my path. It's time for me to have the last laugh. Looking to see what is ahead of me. I won't be blinding by inability. The strength inside of me will lead me in the right direction. Stand aside and watch as I put your false perception of me to rest. My darkest hour has passed. I'm finished with your tests. Everyday a struggle. God I know that you are not finished with me yet. But when my time comes I will have zero regrets. My life is defined by struggle. Perseverence. I won't give up.
