So many times

So many times I bled from pain So many times I cried So many times I almost died And I pled, and I pled So many times, I turned the other cheek So many times, I was weak So many times, justice I sought through all the trauma, I fought But, so many times are done I am now rising with the sun I am now ready for some fun The tough days will still come, but less crisis, from where I came from For this life is all about love Thyself first, then to truly share far All will shine for miles, from star to star!
