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.
