Moving Forward
When in my darker moments I reflect
upon what through my lifetime I have known
anger swells within my sad regret
as I wander through my misery alone.
I mourn the loss of time and precious youth
spent in pain doled out like daily bread
in courses, served harsh pieces of their truth
believing what so cruelly they have said.
I've tried to stand my ground but rarely win
and suffer all the more for fighting back.
It seems to me to be a grievous sin
when it's those supposed to love you who attack.
But in the distance burns a steady light.
Moving forward I gain strength to stand and fight.
