Rise Above It

Standing in the face of calamnity
when it spits, we spit back.
knowing that time will pass
but wisely not keeping track.

rising above the level of insanity
surrounding where we stand
trusting that once we jump
we can only safely land

soaring above waves
pulling us under with vigor
hoping that height alone
can save me from their rigor

waking up in this cruel world 
bashed and trodden upon
praying that the day will come
that i will find where i belong

no sinking, spitting tyrant
can ever pull me down

    Very uplifting message here for sure. I enjoyed reading through the inner thoughts and introspections, and how they all come to a very raw and strong ending.
