Finally Got a Grip
Everything I've done to get this far,
I've had to put up one huge fight.
Tried to see that light,
At the end of the tunnel called life.
But it's just so dark there,
As if it's the middle of night.
My life I once had,
Been stolen from me.
A bright future ahead,
I just couldn't see.
Felt I was living
On borrowed time.
Wasted my life feeling
Not worth a dime.
Been tested and tried
Each and every day.
Wonder why on earth
I should even stay.
When your body physically yearns
To be happy and feel right
Holding onto everything I have
With a grip so incredibly tight.
I know one thing, that my family
Are ones that kept me alive here
Have shown me once again
They are behind me, and very near.
I began to see the light
Now ready once again
Take back what's mine
Without a fight.
Why should I give up here
Shed so many tears
Past is gone, over, and through
With people that caused heartache
And so much pain in life too.
My wings will no longer be clipped
Healing taking place in me
A bright future I now can have
Without so much misery
I can spread my wings and fly away
To a place where I desire to stay.
Hope being placed inside of me
Faith being placed where needed be.
