Michael Mcdonald Poet Free verse

I Must Learn To Be Strong

I am but a being,
trapped in a world that I must face
I am but a soul,
caught between the fire and heavens gate
I am but a mortal,
with no power to right the wrongs
I am but a heart,
that others can break
I must learn to be strong

My eyes see
My ears hear
My emotions feel,
both comfort and fear

Though I walk in the shadows,
I know there is light
For at the end of nights darkness,
there is always the dawn....
I must learn to be strong
