I Am a Survivor

I AM A SURVIVOR

                                   Unforgivable betrayal
                                   Once put me in deep dismal.
                                    Generous Time was best healer.
                                    Deceit failed to be a killer.
                            
                                    Envious enmity once chased
                                    Ungrateful wickedness I faced.
                                    Self-esteem was my protector.
                                    I am an unhurt survivor.

                                  Struggling with hostile ambient
                                  Erect head has never been bent.
                                  I survive being born- fighter.
                                  Life is nothing but adventure.
