As I Rise Again

Please let me get through this,
just one step at a time.
I see your face of worry,
and i know you see mine.
But i know that i can do this,
i`m feeling stronger all the time.

I know you see my anger,
my tears may fall like rain.
I have nothing left to lose now,
but so much left to gain.

It really wasn`t easy,
to see what i,d become.
My life was surely fading.
my head became so numb.

So now that things are changing,
i,ll do everything i can.
To become a better person.
to become a better man.

Well written Stephen, Very easy to read. So often stories like this are so deep and shrouded in wordy prose, not yours, I like it a lot, regards Kevin
