Stand true

My self worth doesn't require your approval 
Or my faiths removal 
My pain from the past
May still last
Emotions can change so fast
Time has helped shape me
So has all I did see
Strength from within 
Surviving through all I have been
Giving me the will to walk on
Even when hope was about gone
Through both bad and good times
Peace comes by writing my rhymes 
Times alone
Times love has been shown
My strength has grown 
Challenges I faced 
Dreams I chased
Times I was brought to a knee
Faith set me free
Kept the love in my heart
The strength to do my part
The path less traveled 
Pain unraveled 
Lost nor found
I knew where I was bound
Quite strength was always around 
Keeping me growing 
Ever knowing
I can face anything 
Whatever life may bring
Faith gets me through 
I stand true
Courage to face a new start
The beat of my heart
Life is a gift 
Faith gives it a lift
Peace is always found within you
So true
