Rising
Rising up over your fears,
Swimming through your private river of tears
The path sometimes seemed so steep
Relying on the strength that is hiding so deep.
Trying to rise and move beyond the past,
You stood fast.
During times pressing you down
Kept your head up and didn't drown .
Didn't get lost in the frown.
The struggle was real ,
It is valid, how it is you feel.
Standing with self worth, this new found pride.
No reason for you to hide.
while reaching for your star,
You have came so far.
time may of passed you by,
How it seemed to fly .
During the learning years
you have earned them tears
Accepted your fears.
Behind , lies much sorrow.
Now time welcomes you , into
tomorrow .
