Twenty Years

To lose faith after having come so far is to deny the dream from its ability to soar On the days where strength is tested and courage required One must remain diligent in the progression of all they've acquired As easy as it may be to just give up Where lies the glory in defeat as such? Five years ago, that girl who is gone is determined to remain five more years strong Stuck here in the middle of the past and the future Believing wholeheartedly in the capability instilled in her She may long for the days of complete bliss and no worries Though she can still feel the ghost of days when life was so lowly So humbled she finds herself amidst a singular gloom hour and takes to heart the challenge not to cower Staying faithful in her course and dredging up fight for one more day A girl with a past who's ten years on her way
