Rise Again

Taken by surprise by life's mysteries,

I find myself on the edge of misery.

My strength has betrayed me,

My arrogance struck dead so abruptly.

Yet I know I will one day rise again,

Yet my tears I can hardly contain.

The struggles have all but taken my soul,

Yet I will regain what this life has stole.

I will rise like the sun rises by morning,

The death of my spirit I will stop mourning.

A new spirit shall now be born within me,

A spirit of strength, A spirit of certainty.

I will surrender to this life no longer,

My sudden rise will come about like thunder.

It will come without a warning,

I will rise like the sun does by morning.
