Strong Willed

I've been held back for far to long,
now it's time that I just move on.

I will try to make it on my own,
right now my future is still unknown.

I live every day in constant fear,
of what lies in store or troubles are near.

I have to be strong and hold my head high,
because so far in life all I want is to die.

It's not going to be easy but just wait and see,
just what I become and who I will be.

Plan your steps carefully. Keep saying your prayers. My moving has hit a snag. My car broke down. And I may be homeless. I'm just gonna trust God.
