I Shall Ascend

There are times when a feeling of being shunned may occur.
Perhaps an incident had happened where the fault was inferred.
There is a darkness, which lies and waits around every bend.
All their energy is spent on fear and deception, yet I shall ascend.

As a tiny candle in the vast darkness, there is no breeze to extinguish this flame.
As an integral part of this amazing cosmos, this energy will always remain.
I am confident that this force within has no birth, no death, and will never end.
With all the confusion, all the fear and deception, still I shall ascend.

Rising above problems, worries and even wrongful blame, can be so hard to do. But those that can achieve it, will enjoy life anew. Forceful truth in your poem Wayne, Very well put.
