Rising Above

I will never have
 -money, thick and green.
I will never know the looks,
dirty with envy and greed. 
I will not walk empty, cold as stone- irreverent.

I will pain in thought,
cry solitarily.
I will live in love,
love in life- forever more.
My heart agape,
my mistakes iron heavy.

I will live life 
the only way I know how.
After missing chances, 
Regretting times
I will learn to rise, sky scraping high,
With pride.
