Because I Live
Quote by Maya Angelou:
"I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it."
Because I Live
I can be changed by the storms I face,
But I refuse to let them win the race,
For I am strong, I am alive,
And I will always find a way to thrive.
Because I live, I will not be broken,
By the words left unspoken,
Or the pain that seeps into my soul,
For I am the captain of my own shoal.
I will not let fear consume me,
Or the darkness of the night loom me,
For I am a warrior, a fighter,
And I will always be a survivor.
Because I live, I will chase my dreams,
No matter how impossible they may seem,
And I will carve my own destiny,
With every step, every breath, every memory.
I will love with all my heart,
And never let my fears tear us apart,
For I know that love is the ultimate gift,
And it's what gives my soul its uplift.
Because I live, I will embrace the unknown,
And make the most of every moment shown,
For life is fleeting, and time is short,
And I refuse to let it be a mere sport.
So, let the winds of change blow,
And the rivers of life flow,
For I am here, I am alive,
And because I live, I will thrive.
