I Will Overcome

Though I walk through this valley of pain 
I shall never surrender to it, 
for the light of my character 
outshine’s the darkness which surround’s me.
 I alone choose my outcome 
and though trials lie before me 
my eyes are fixed upon the victory ahead, 
Far beyond the petty obstacles I shall overcome.
